VROEG ELITE (“EARLY ELITE”) Players ‘demonstrate’ ability to compete with one or more outstanding Character Attributes & Player Benchmarks.
-Our Vroeg Elite Team is composed of Pool & Roster players.
-They will have League (Saturdays), potential Friendly Matches (Saturday or Sunday), or Tournament games on weekends.
Although the structure is the same, we separate Vroeg under our Elite Teams because the expectations are different for players at this age. They are new to the culture, and understanding the responsibility, & commitment it takes to be a part of a competitive team. We want to create a competitive environment for these players, while allowing them to balance family life & other activities. We travel less for tournaments, and stay to home for League games so that this is possible.
Vroeg Elite: 1 nearby tournament per season. U10 & U11 Elite: 1-2 tournaments per season. Each team will be given a list of Tournament options &have the autonomy to pick which ones they would like to play in U12- U14 Elite: 2-4 tournaments per season. Each team will be given a list of Tournament options &have the autonomy to pick which ones they would like to play in.
