PROGRAM Breakdown
In 2019 our Fundamental program took on a new structure.
We realize that as the program progresses, so does the abilities and skills of the players enrolled and so we created an advanced program for players who have been assessed and evaluated through previous Rise programs and have shown they are ready for more advanced instruction.
Development Players
All Players ages 5 - 12 (returning or new) will register into the Fundamental Program. If an Advanced Program is offered at the time that a Fundamentals Program is running, returning or new players will be assessed by a coach at the Fundamental level session and invited to attend an advanced session.
The Fundamentals Program runs all year round.
