Are the tournaments and practice schedules set in advance?

Which team will my child tryout for?

  • Athlete’s will tryout for their current school grade. Typically Labor Day (or September 1st for some tournament organizers) mark the start of players moving up in age. Coaches can always decide to play their teams up in age if they feel it is an appropriate adjustment for competition.  

What does “travel” consist of for the various age groups?

  • Our development teams typically play smaller, local tournaments and may consist of one out of town event. For example the younger teams will often attend the Jam On It Reno tournament at the end of their spring season on Memorial Day weekend. 
  • Our competitive teams will usually play in local tune-up tournaments in the greater Bay Area and could possibly have 1-2 overnight tournaments in Sacramento or Los Angeles.
  • Our Adidas 3 Stripes GOLD circuit teams (15u, 16u, 17u only) are required to commit to a more rigorous schedule. Their schedules are built around the  mandatory Adidas sessions and live viewing period dates, to give our athletes maximum exposure to the toughest competition and the opportunity to play in front of college coaches. These tournaments are located in Northern and Southern California, Washington, Nevada, Arizona, and South Carolina.
