TEAMS


The Academy Program offeres boys and girls ages 8 – 12 a competitive environment to develop as a player.

Depending on the number of qualified children who try out we may have two or more teams in an age group. If there are two teams the players will be divided into a blue team (more advanced players) and a white team (the developmental team). Coaches will decide on which players play on each team, and not guaranteed a roster spot on any particular team. It is common for coaches to shuffle players between the top team and their developmental team to give players experience at different levels of play. It is also common to have advanced players occasionally play in an older age group (“play up”) based upon their skills and the needs of the team. Because young players’ skills change so rapidly it is not uncommon for a player who starts with the developmental team to move up to the advanced team or vice versa.
