Short Season Program
Build Your Core Skills
Learn the Fundamentals
Our Short Season program is a beginner level camp-style program. This program is ideal for athlete's just getting introduced to the sport we love. This is also a great choice for younger athletes who are preparing themselves to try out for our Middle School Program or their Middle School Team. This program focuses on every skill and breaks it down into the core fundamentals the athletes will need to be successful all without the stress of tryouts or traveling tournaments. At the end of the short season program we hold an internal "Tournament" play day where the athletes get to showcase their new skills!
