High Performance Spring Season 2025

 

Welcome to our HTC High Performance Program Page:

This training requires an evaluation/tryout in order to be selected to one of our HP Teams. 

 

What is our Spring High Performance Program?

We are excited to announce our High Performance Program for the Spring!

Here are the details about our HP Program;

We will select the following teams to our High Performance Program this Spring;

• U14 RCC Squad – 18 Players
• U14 HP Developmental Squad – 18 Players
• U16 RCC Squad – 18 Players
• U16 HP Developmental Squad – 18 Players
• U19 RCC Squad – 18 Players
• U19 HP Developmental Squad – 18 Players

These teams will be selected from our try-outs. There will be several opportunities for players to be evaluated for our teams.

We will announce the HP and Developmental Teams on Monday March 16, 2025. 

Each team will have it’s own training and competition schedule. This will be announced on March 16th. The training schedule will consist of 1-2 practices during the week and a team competition opportunity on Sundays. This schedule will be announced shortly. Players are expected to attend all practices and competitions in order for us to prepare and excel this Spring. 

What is the difference between the RCC and HP Developmental Team?

Our RCC team will be our top 18 players that will be vying for a spot on our Regional Club Championship Teams. These players will compete in the RCC Tournament that will take place in early June. Our goal is to earn a spot to the National Club Championship Tournament.

Our HP Developmental Team will be players that were not selected for the RCC team at our try outs. These players will be taught the same curriculumn and have a similar training schedule as the RCC players. Our HP Developmental players will have the opportunity to be moved up to the RCC Team as a result of their hard work and potential contribution to the team.  

Our Coaching Staff will have the opportunity to move players between the RCC and HP Developmental Team as they see fit. This is meant to enable all players the opportunity to compete and push the level of play higher in our club. Our coaches will determine the final number of players that are named to the RCC teams. This number will depend on team needs and players abilities to contribute to the teams success. The Final RCC Team will have between 18-24 players.
