overview
Premier teams are our most competitive outdoor team option, with teams vying for a spot to compete on the biggest outdoor competitions for their age group at the National Club Championships by attending and qualifying from the Regional Club Championship.
This group is not only our most talented but equally important, our most dedicated. Those that make it, must prioritize the sport and the premier team above other extra curricular activities.
Tryouts required? Yes. To participate on a premier team, tryouts are required, unless you have been named to a premier U-16 or U-19 Premier team in the winter of 2023-2024 or a Select U-14 team in the winter of 2023-2024.
If you are new to the club or had previously participated on a regional team or U-16 &. U-19 select indoor team and would like to be elevated to Premier, please sign-up for select and indicate that you would like to be evaluated for Premier during the first 2 training session.
If you are not elevated to Premier during the tryout process, you will be automatically placed in the Select Program.
