Let's talk

Older athletes who are still choosing a sport

Explore stops at age 10. For a 10–15 year old who has not settled on a sport yet, the best move is a conversation: a coach will suggest a Start Up or Level Up session where they can jump in mid-season if needed.

Not sure?

Talk to a coach before you register

Not sure which level, which age group or which day fits? A two-minute call sorts it out, and every Game Plan session lets your athlete switch groups in the first week.

Questions parents ask

Before you register

How do I know which level is right?

Start Up is for athletes learning a sport, Level Up is for athletes who have played a season (or already play on a school or rec team) and are ready for in-house teams and competition. Use the chooser above or call the front desk and a coach will place your athlete.

Does Dash check ages at checkout?

No. The age ranges are coaching groups, not hard limits, so a mature 9-year-old can register for Level Up Volleyball Beginner. If you are unsure, register for the level that fits and tell the coach on day one. Switching groups in the first week is routine.

What happens after Start Up?

After one or two Start Up seasons most athletes move to Level Up in the same sport. From Level Up, athletes who want to compete try out for a club or travel team. Every step is a season at a time; nothing is locked in.

What does my athlete need to bring?

Athletic clothes, indoor court shoes and a water bottle. Equipment is provided for Start Up. Level Up baseball and softball athletes bring their own glove; golf athletes may use ours or bring their own clubs.

What if we miss a session?

Sessions are not pro-rated for individual absences, but coaches run a rolling curriculum so a missed week is easy to pick back up. If an illness keeps an athlete out for an extended stretch, call us and we will work it out.

Can I pay over time?

Registration is paid in full at checkout. If a payment plan would make the difference, call (269) 679-2090 before you register and we will see what we can do.

Is there a sibling or multi-sport discount?

Not on Game Plan sessions right now. Summer camp carries a $50 per week multi-athlete discount for siblings, and Play Your Way family memberships cover the whole household.

Where are you?

Next Level Sports Center (the Kalsee Dome) is at 12733 US-131, Schoolcraft, MI 49087, about 15 minutes south of Kalamazoo and Portage on US-131. Every session runs indoors, so there are no snow days.
