Our high performance training, explained.
University Prep
Programs & Athlete Advancement:
As our program continues to grow, we understand and appreciate the ambition of athletes wanting to challenge themselves at the next level. Competing against older athletes can be an extremely valuable experience, but our priority is to ensure that each athlete is placed in an environment that both challenges them and upholds the integrity of our training programs and camps.
Advancement is never based on a request; it is a decision made after careful consideration of an athlete’s readiness. Athletes must consistently stand out in their age group—both in skill, effort, and communication - leadership qualities are equally important! If a younger athlete does not check these boxes, they will not be considered for advancement.
Our goal is to foster long-term development, so if we believe an athlete is ready to move up, we will reach out to you directly! Athletes are always encouraged to reach out if they have any questions about their development or progression - we’re here to support and guide them in their journey!
This page outlines our program structure and the criteria for advancement, as well as our pathway for athletes.
