In a nutshell:

·          Travel teams will play a full schedule of approximately five 1 and 2 day tournaments in the Albany, NY and  Southern VT area against the top clubs in the region.  New to the club this year is the U10 Girls travel team and an expanded number of College Showcase tournaments for our high school age teams.

·          We continue a modified schedule for high school aged teams, in order to minimize conflicts with high school sports schedules.  We work the practice and tournament schedules around the school calendars.

·          In addition to the travel teams, we offer a less expensive, local option for U10Boys and U8-U12 Girls.  Local teams will play games closer to home.  This option is designed both for players and families looking for a smaller time commitment, those involved with multiple sports, as well as those earlier in their skill development.
