PLAYER DIVISIONS
Our day camps feature three divisions based on grade level to ensure age-appropriate instruction and competition. Within each division, campers are grouped by experience and skill level, allowing our coaches to tailor instruction and create a positive learning environment where every player can improve, build confidence, and enjoy the game.
Campers will select their division during the registration process. Divisions are based on the grade campers will be entering in Fall 2027 (2027–2028 academic year).
- High School Division: Entering grades 9–11
- Middle School Division: Entering grades 6–8
- Youth Division: Entering grades 4–5
Note: During camp, coaches may help players who are on the edge between divisions find the best group for them.
