Our tryout training sessions are ran in a small group format and are intense power hour sessions at their core. They are solely intended to focus and sharpen skill levels in preparation for tryout season.
Tryout sessions are fast-paced and highly competitive, designed to test and identify individual player weaknesses.
These sessions will very quickly expose players as to where they stack up relative to their peer group going into tryouts.

Our private training sessions are run in either a small group or 1v1 format and are built entirely around your child’s needs. Our goal is to identify their strengths, their goals, and the areas where they need extra help or confidence.
The small-group private training blends individual attention with the energy and competitiveness kids love.
1v1 is the most personalized way to accelerate a young player’s development.
Whether you choose small-group or 1v1, we create a positive, supportive environment where players can slow the game down, repeat skills with intention, and gain an edge that shows up immediately in their team play.
Whether your child thrives with 1-on-1 attention or enjoys learning alongside a few friends, our private training programs are built to meet them where they are and help them grow with confidence.
With a focus on personalized coaching, fundamentals, movement, and the joy of the game, we help young players build skills that last a lifetime.
