TEAM LEVELS

Adidas

Adidas team commitment is December through June (tournament/practice schedules flex for younger age groups).  While we welcome and are flexible with our multi-sport athletes, we expect our top level teams to be fully committed to the team's schedules, both bi-weekly practices and tournaments.  Teams cannot progress to the level at which they are expected to compete without regular practice attendance from the full team.

Adidas schedule teams can travel nationally, sometimes requiring air travel once or twice per season (we try to limit this as much as possible as top national competition is available within driving distance).  These teams play in sometimes two, but mostly three-day events.

Team fees include:

  • Entry fees into appropriate competitive divisions of tournaments featuring national competition and collegiate coach attendance.
  • Hudl w/ Assist (13-18's)
  • Recruiting assistance
  • 5 hours weekly training
  • Coach pay/expenses
