Coach's Recommendation
High school and association coaches play a crucial role in identifying athletes who are ready for the next step in their development. If you have a player who missed season evaluations or supplemental evaluations but would be a strong fit for the current season, this recommendation allows them to be considered.
Our process ensures that every player has the opportunity to experience a practice, meet our staff, and see firsthand how we develop athletes before making a commitment. This is not a tryout—it’s about finding the right fit for the player and our program, keeping the focus on long-term growth and development.
