We will also seek quality coaches and pay them for the training they provide to their teams. Zonal and National Teams include the cost of one tournament outside the region which includes coaches travel expenses.  At the end ouf our season we will donate equipment to the schools who allowed the club to use their facilities. 

Practice

How many days a week is practice?

All teams will start with 2 practices per week and possibly work up to 3 as we evaluate our gym space.

Tournaments

Do you only plan to do one “extra” tournament?

Zonal teams go to at least one extra tournament and that is included in the club fees.

Will my team go to more tournaments, but only paying for one up front?

Each team’s coach will talk to their parents and decide together if the team would like to go to additional tournaments outside the region. Any additional tournaments will be an additional cost and split between the players. National teams will go to more than one tournament outside the region, including one National tournament. Club fees include one of those tournaments as well. 

Accomodations & Travel

Do I have hotel options or does the whole team need to stay in the same hotel?

Some tournaments are “stay and play” which means the tournament requires players to stay in designated hotels. I the tournament is not a “stay and play’ you will have the option to chose any hotel you would like or stay with family/friends when traveling.
