Selection & Acceptance

Application Deadline - May 1st.

All applications are reviewed by our coaching staff. If required, an Identification (ID) Session may be held to further evaluate athletes prior to final selections. 

​

For the 15U Girls and 17U Girls divisions, athletes will be placed into two training groups. Both groups follow the same overall training structure, coaching philosophy, and performance standards. This is to ensure athletes are surrounded by others of a similar skill level and pace of play. This allows for more effective repetitions, appropriate challenge, and a stronger overall development environment.    

​​Final selections and group placements will be communicated by May 20th, 2026. If an Identification (ID) Session is required, details will be shared at that time and will take place the week of May 11th, 2026.
