Team Rosters: For in-house teams, the goal is to create balanced competition. This may mean dominate players/teams will be separated. With the transition to travel rec, it is important that players get exposure to a variety of players of variable skill levels. We try to create fair and balanced teams so all players can enjoy their time on the field. They are not just learning how to play the sport, but developing into good teammates and friends. As they age through the program they will develop and learn from each other as well as their coach. It is important as they grow with the program, they get a chance to play with everyone. Knowing all the kids in their age group will make transitioning to a larger format easier for all players and coaches involved.
