What is the Regional program? The regional program is an option for athletes who might want a reduced time commitment because of a school sport or other activity, they might be new to the sport, physically they are not yet ready for the next level, or it provides a more economical level of participation. Whatever the reason, they still get trained the Bama Elite way. Each regional team has a coach, but a master coach runs the practices.
Regional players will tryout at the same time as National teams.
What is the Youth division? The youth division will be for ages 10-12’s and will practice twice a week at their certain location. Also, this season will end by the second weekend of April at the latest. We are doing a limited travel schedule for the young athletes getting involved with the sport.
