*Travel tournaments will be optional and will have a fee.
Players and families may sign up for the program they feel best fits their player’s ability; however, final placement on teams and in practice groups will be at the coach’s and technical director’s discretion based on the team or practice squad that they feel is most appropriate for that player’s long-term development. Additionally, players may be placed above or below their current age group based on this evaluation and their ability.
