Teams
Academy teams will be support players 10-18 years old. Athletes will play with the same teammates all season.
Tournaments
Academy teams will play in three regional tournaments and compete in the regional championships for a chance to win a bid to the Junior National Championships.
The new format for regional tournaments will be "mixed division". This means that teams can move up down in divisions, just like the Elite teams.
Tryouts
Early tryouts will be held in November (same as the Elite tryouts).
If you cannot make it to tryouts, we recommend you join a camp or clinic prior to tryouts so the coaches will know who you are. You will not receive any offer until the official tryout date.
College Recruiting
Since Academy teams do not travel (with the exception of the 18's team, it will be more difficult to get recruited. However, we can help players if they want to pursue a college scholarship.
Season
Club season is Nov - April. Practices start the week of Nov 18th.
Practices are 90 minutes, two times a week.
Small group skills training available at additional cost.
Fees
We will publish the costs for the Academy division soon.
The fees will include the Inspire uniform package, entry into all regional tournaments. Travel, food and lodging at any regional travel tournaments is not included in your fees.
A $250 deposit is due upon accepting an offer to join a team after tryouts.
