Select Program

The Junior Academy Program expects increased commitment from its players in time and effort and players are encouraged to practice their skills at home. Players must attend practices and games in order to remain in the program as they are not optional.

All players must attend Evaluations in order to be placed on a team of the appropriate level to stimulate his/her development. This is a “tryout” process resulting in an opportunity for players, parents, and coaches to assess the suitability of the program to the player’s stage of development and determine proper placement in either the Academy or Recreation program.
