Foundations 2026
What is Foundations?
Foundations is a local training program for players ages 9-16 who are eager to develop strong, lasting foundational skills in a fun environment.
-
Focus on Fundamentals: Training sessions will be divided between building foundational skills and playing in an inter-squad tournament.
-
Team-Oriented Training: Players will be organized into teams of 8 based on age and ability level. This small group size ensures every participant receives personalized attention and ample playing time while fostering a true sense of camaraderie.
-
No Tryouts Required! We believe in giving every aspiring player a chance to grow. There are no tryouts to join the Foundations Program—just a desire to learn and improve!
