INDIVIDUAL ATHLETE EVALUATION

During the course of the camp, each athlete will receive a written Athlete Profile Evaluation that identifies strengths, weaknesses and areas of required improvement to compete at a higher level. A member of the coaching staff prepares the Evaluation and will discuss it with the athlete on an individual basis.

LEVELS OF PARTICIPATION

• High School females

• High School males

• Collegiate females

• Collegiate males

Athletes at all levels of skill and development will be divided into teams based on skill, age, gender and size.
