What is the difference between the levels?

Open Level: This is the level for the best players in our area at the 18 and 16 levels. We will have 1 team for the 16’s and 1team for the 18’s. Players at this level MUST be dedicated and committed to the team and to the travel schedule. This includes 2 full weekend trips and overnight stays. Tryouts are by invitation as we have a limited amount of space and alloted time. Players must request an invitation and Coastal coaches will determine if a player can meet the level. All players not meeting the level will be wait listed and can be accepted to the tryout if space is available.

Club Level: This level requires less of a travel commitment and only Sunday practices and tournaments. Players must still be committed but there will be some flexibility from team to team and coach to coach. Most players that participate on a High School team play at this level.

Clinic: This level will not travel and commitment is up to each family. The more you practice the better you get.

If I do not make a team will I be cut?

Players cut from the Open Levels will be able to tryout for the Club Levels. Players cut from the Club Levels will be able to participate in the Clinic Levels. Refunds will be made to players getting moved between levels up until March 1 st.

Where do teams travel and what is the schedule for that travel?

There are about 350 teams in our Region. Each tournament week teams are ranked and a schedule is completed using this ranking system. This means that we do not have specific venues for teams until about 1 week prior to the next date. Travel is usually 30 minutes to 2 hours from our base in New Bedford. The better your team plays the greater the distance of travel to see better competition. The Open levels will travel 2 to 3 hours on some weekends including a trip to Albany NY.
