Season Details

We will be hand-selecting players from Barrington and the surrounding Northwest suburbs of Chicago for all of our spring travel teams. These teams will practice two times a week for 1.5 hours at Canlan Sports in Lake Barrington.

One practice will consist of all skills training, which will be lead by one of our lead trainers. The second practice will be a team practice led by the team's head coach, which they will focus in on offensive and defensive strategies in preparation for our tournaments. There will be a total of 16 practices and 6 tournaments that our team teams will compete in over the spring of 2024.

Season will run in April & May.

Tournaments will be played locally on the weekends in the greater Chicagoland area. There may be a rare case where we play over the border in Wisconsin (Pleasant Prairie) or Indiana (Hammond) based upon division availability and strength of team. The goal is to play the best competition in the region.

If your child is selected to play on one of our teams, a down payment will be required immediately to hold their spot.

Teams will be coached by professional non-parent coaches.

Season cost is $900 + $100 for the Nike Uniform Package (includes jersey, shorts, and shooting shirt)
