Program Overview

The High School Girls Summer Elevation Team is focused on top-team and college preparation through:

• Elevated training sessions
• Competitive friendlies
• Travel to elite-level college showcase tournaments

This program is open to all female players (regardless of league or club affiliation) seeking high-level play and development. While college aspirations are common, they are not required to participate. Likewise, players who cannot commit to the game travel part of this program will still have full access to other college-development opportunities within the club.

General Program Details

• Open to female players in 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011 age groups
• Projected to compete in two out-of-state tournaments (one in Wisconsin) or one tournament and a MSYSA-organized summer mini-season of four games. We are awaiting further information from the state on the mini-season.
• Tryout registration is required through the USA registration system prior to the tryout
  Registration Link: https://registration.teamsnap.com/form/52094

  Please note: Not attending the tryout may impact selection. Attendance is strongly encouraged.
• Team selections and formations will take place in the days following the tryout.

Important Notes

• Participation in summer programs has zero impact on fall team placement or participation.

• Summer Elevation Teams are supplemental and do not replace regular summer team training.
• These programs exist to enhance development, experience, and exposure for all participants.
