COACHES:  We will have a 8/10 to 1 ratio. Our coaching staff is 2nd to none.  Results from Club South speaks for itself!

We must meet minimum sign ups in order to offer at a specific location, normally 20. If not met, we will combine into another location close by. There may be a few practices we combine all locations into one big practice-scrimmage.

Players sign up by location, so even if you choose for example Simpsonville Rec, you have a choice to attend there, or also, any other of the scheduled practices at any location. We offer " Practice All You Want Policy"- so you can attend the other scheduled practices at any location. This also offers flexibility in schedules.

This program begins mid November. They practice twice a week, normally one week day and one weekend day. (schedules are posted early, click here to see). Our Sptbg location practices may vary weekday/wkend, since we have that facility 7 days a week. At Simp. Rec and Potental, we only have Wed ngts and Sunday afternoons (for the most part). At Pavilion, we have Tues, Thurs ngts and Sunday afternoons.  Exact practice times, dates, locations should be posted by late Summer.

Normally, we will divide players by age, but normally, we will train all groups at same time, at same location. For example, in Spartanburg, we may have 6 groups, but all will train at same time at Westside Club, just divided by groups/teams. 

Kidz Power teaches all fundamentals on an advanced level within a fun atmosphere.  Prizes are awarded at practicesm our "Success Store".  Typically our 12 wk program is equivalent to 2 seasons of school ball.

We must meet minimum sign ups in order to offer at a specific location, normally 20. If not met, we will combine into another location close by.

Players sign up by location, so even if you choose, for example Simpsonville Rec, you can attend there, and also, any other of the scheduled practices at any location. We offer "Practice All You Want Policy"- so you can attend the other scheduled practices at any location as often as you like. This also helps work around busy schedules, since their is normally a NTT practice 4-5 days a week at one of our locations.

The program teaches advanced skills twice a week for the early weeks, then we train once a week and play matches the 2nd time in that week, normally the weekend session. (tentative schedules are posted closer to season start). Our 12 week program is equivalent to 2 school seasons.

Our Sptbg location practices may vary weekday/wkend, since we have that facility 7 days a week. At Simp. Rec and Potental, we only have Wed ngts and Sunday afternoons (for the most part). At Pavilion, we have Tues, Thurs ngts and Sunday afternoons.

Players are placed in training/team groups based on age, then skill. We make group placements in the first week- like a tryout, but only to place into groups.  Groups/teams will consist of 8-10 players.  We may move players between groups through the season. 

Coaches may vary in non travel verses set coaches in travel team program.  This could be seen as a advantage since you get to learn from more than one coach.

Matches will be played local- sometimes at your signed up location, sometimes in one of our other locations. ( similar to school- home and away matches) just away is close by (Sptbg or Grvl). Matches will be against other non travel teams, CS travel teams, or other clubs in the area. 

All non travel teams will participate in one half day tournament in early Feb. It will be local in one of our facilities.

Fees for Non Travel is $350 lump sum or $200 deposit and three installments of $60.

REMEMBER most do FUNDRAISING in order to cover fees.

2) Developmental Travel Teams (DT)for 4th - 7th grade. (7th grade is included in order to give a lower cost alternative vrs Regional travel teams. 7th graders only have a choice between Dev. Travel or Regional Travel.)

Who is Club South- check us out

DT is a program you must tryout for. Normally we are able to place 90% of the players. For players who we can't place will be assigned to Non Travel.

If they are experienced, we recommend:
(1st) Regional Travel Team - the Ultimate Experience,
(2nd) the Developmental Travel Team option (get your feet wet before Reg. Travel tm option or
(3rd) Non travel, which is the lowest cost and commitment of all three. 

Developmental Travel training is taught at HS or college level skills, in addition to strong tournament competition. We have one dedicated coach per team vrs random coaches in Non Travel & Kidz Power.  They practice twice a week, normally one week night and one weekend day, Sat or Sun afternoon.

Developmental Travel is a step up from Kidz Power or Non Travel and is designed for athletes who have experience and knowledge of the skills.  Tryouts are held for this program and spaces are limited based on our coaching staff. Normally we are able to place 90% + of applicants. If they don't make it, they can choose to stay in Kidz Power ( if they are 5th grade or below) or Non Travel Program ( if they are 6th grade or above). 

Our plans are to offer this program in each of our facilities in Greenville and Spartanburg.
