We are looking forward to a growth-filled summer working with athletes coming from all over the Western MA region to train and compete in a supportive environment with committed, skilled coaches.
Our program will begin by hosting training sessions for all athletes interested in competing in the girls' division. After our training period, athletes will have the choice of two different commitment levels:
regional-players who are also invited to compete against other youth and adult teams on the regional-level in the Massachusetts/New England area, and
a nationally competitive team that will practice and compete regionally and nationally, traveling to Aurora, CO for the Youth Club Championships August 2-4.
No players will be cut from our program.
Many trainings and competitions will be together as one big group.
**Team training and program events for all teams will take place at the Oxbow in Northampton, MA or MacDuffie in Granby MA - TBD
Eligibility:
** All players must not turn 20 or older during 2025.
** All players must be USA Ultimate members. [Paid players due, signed online waiver]
** All players must abide by all USAU eligibility rules.
** All YCC players must have been enrolled in high school during the academic year immediately preceding the USAU Youth Club Championships. This means that college or gap-year players are not allowed to participate on YCC teams.
** Certain exceptions to the above rules may be granted on a case by case basis. Contact dan kaplan for more information
