Choosing the Right Program for your Child

We’ve tweaked the length and timing of our programs so that we can offer continuous development opportunities at age groups between 9 and 14 (15 for advanced programs) and offer some at multiple times to fit everyone’s busy schedules. We recognize that not all children will enter the pathway at the same age or athletic skill level. Also, not all children will develop at the same rate once they enter. The key is that they are in a program appropriate for their skill level and that they feel comfortable socially. Recommended ages are guidelines only.

Here are the Programs for the 2024-25 season…
