Girls Elite Program

Our Elite Program takes the core club experience – veteran staff, professional communication, family-oriented culture – and supplements each of those elements with bonus training programs and a rigorous tournament schedule. Through their training, Elite Program athletes master the skills needed to compete for the highest level of success.

A typical Elite season will span from November to June, concluding with a trip to compete at Nationals (AAU, USAV). Along the way we cover core skills training, dedicated positional work, team scenario drills, conditioning and plyos, mental-wellness programming and team-building, local events and power leagues, and national qualifier events.
