What are my options and what is best for my child?
Detailed information on our various programs shown here, summary
information is below.
If UNDER 7th grade and
beginner-
Choose our Developmental Kidz Power Training Program. This is the
best choice for beginners. Read the details on the link.
If UNDER 7th grade and have
experience
:
You have two choices:
(1) Developmental Kidz Power Training Program (above) , which is geared toward developing skills, while
having fun.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OR
(2) Play on one of our
Developmental Travel
Teams.
In the ages of 12 and below (6th grade and lower), the travel is limited, not
the same as older ages. ( Travel is probably 2-3 local tournaments or at our facility,
these will be 1/2 or
full day tournaments and 1-2 tournaments within 2 hrs travel). The training skill level is higher, more match play, and
a coach per team with a ratio of 8-10 to 1. If you child is above
average in her skill level, we highly suggest she consider the travel team
option. The training is much higher than in our developmental program, along
with more match play. Tryouts will be required on this option and
announced at our informational meeting. If you are unsure which she should
do... sign her up for the "Training" program and request we reveiw her skills
during the 1st few sessions. Tryouts for the "Travel" side will be AFTER
the training sessions begin.
If
ABOVE 7th grade and beginner-
IF they are 7th grade, we suggest our Developmental
Program above. If 8th grade or above, we suggest our non travel program,
but they can participate in our developmental program.
IF
ABOVE 7th grade and Experienced :
You
have two options-
(1) Non-Travel teams: This is the best choice
if your are trying to keep cost down and/or can't make the travel schedule of our
traveling teams. About 10-15% of our total players participate in this
option. Great training and includes regular match play.. read details on the non-travel teams.
(2) Travel Team Option: This is what the
majority of our members participate in. If you want the maximum benefit
out of club- this is the option. Players try out in Nov-Dec. to determine
which team skill level they are assigned to. We do NOT cut players- but we
reserve the right to assign to our non travel team. Travel Teams are
divided among regional travel and national travel. Explained on the website link
above. You must be invited after tryouts to make our national travel
teams.

Description of Program |
Athletes who
have never played or have not been a part of an organized team, or
participated in our beginner program from last year. Designed for fun, while learning-
includes match play and two 1/2 day tournaments. |
A low cost
option for players who prefer to have high level of training and some
match play, without the travel tournament commitment. Normally
practice is once a week and match play once a week. |
If your child is above average
or higher for her grade level- you need to seriously consider Dev.
travel. |
Our most popular option. Gives you our
great training and participate in up to 75 matches! Normally tournament
travel is within 1-2 hrs. Ages under 13 offer a lower travel schedule
and this option is called Developmental Travel. |
This is by selection only, notified after tryouts. Players need to qualify and agree to a high level commitment of
practice, play, and tournament travel. |
This is by selection after tryouts
only. It is our top team(s) in each age division from 13-18. Our highest
level of commitment is required here. |
