Our Elite "Red Teams" may compete in National or Regional Tournaments. The Program Manager will select the appropriate number and location of tournaments. Once tournament schedule is finalized, it is expected that players will attend all tournaments and be ready to play. Tournament play begins in April and ends in July. You can expect to have one or two tournaments per month. High School Teams can expect more travel as they will be competing in NCAA Certified Tournaments during NCAA viewing periods.
