Players are scheduled based on their availability provided at the time of registration.  It varies from season to season but generally, we try to have groups created a week before the start of the season. Groups are custom-built based on age, grade, and skill level to create a competitive environment.

We offer several different types of training programs (Skills Training, Shooting Training, and Competitive Play Training).  You can mix and match sessions depending on how many times a week you register for.

Skills Training: (Offered year-round) 1-hour session that covers Ball Handling, Finishing, Shooting, and Competition within the small group

Shooting Training: (Offered in every season except in the Fall/Preseason Prep) 1-hour sessions designed to create perfect shooting mechanics. Shooting training is slower-paced focusing on form, footwork, and repetition.

Competitive Play Training: (Offered during select seasons).  1-hour sessions that focused on player development through competitive play. Players will compete against one another in 1 on 1, 2 on 2, 3 on 3, & 4 on 4.
