Tell us your athlete's age and what they have played, and a coach will place them. Switching groups in the first week is routine.
Start Up (ages 5–9 & 10–12) if they are learning the game. Level Up Beginner (10–12) if they have played a season and want in-house teams. Level Up 13–15 if they play on a school team or want to try out for club. Coaches move athletes between groups in the first week when needed.
At tryouts. Athletes are evaluated over the tryout session and placed on National, Regional or State teams by age group, or invited to keep developing in Level Up. Placement emails go out within a few days of tryouts.
Keep developing: Level Up 13–15 trains Tue/Thu/Fri 4:15–6:15 PM, Sunday open gyms are $15, and rotating-pairs tournaments run Sat Nov 21 & Sat Dec 12. Many club players were Level Up athletes the season before their first roster spot.
10–12 Beginner trains Tue & Fri from Nov 17; the 13–15 group trains Thu & Fri from Nov 19. Each session is two hours: skills, positional work, then in-house games. Nov 17 – Jan 29.
Court shoes, knee pads, athletic clothes and a water bottle. We provide balls, nets and training equipment.
Coaches run a rolling curriculum, so a missed week is easy to pick back up. Extended absences: call us and we will work it out.
