HTC Regional Club Championship Selection Procedure – West Coast
HTC is proud to announce we will be entering teams in the USFHA Regional Club Championship Tournaments. We will be taking U14, U16 and U19 Teams to the Region 11 California Region for our West Coast players.
All HTC players are eligible to be considered for one of our RCC teams!
This is the one tournament of the year that we have to select and cut players for our teams.
Each RCC team will have a max of 20 players and 4 alternates named.
There will be many players wanting to make each of our RCC teams. So with this very difficult decision for our coaches, it is imperative that all families understand the commitment that will be required if a player is selected. Each player will be required to participate in a training schedule to prepare our teams for the RCC tournaments. We ask that players selected try to make each and every event on the team’s training schedule. There will be a fee to participate in the RCC tournament. This fee will be between $1000-$1500, which will cover the training sessions and the RCC tournament. HTC will work with families that need a payment plan in order to cover this fee. After discussing and agreeing to these parameters with your family, players can register for the evaluation sessions to be considered for selection to our RCC Teams!
Here are the steps for players to take to be considered for one of our RCC teams:
- All interested players need to register to be considered for the RCC team and pay a $20 evaluation fee. The evaluation dates and locations are listed below.
- After players register to be considered, they should attend the practice sessions listed below to be evaluated. We want to make sure everyone knows that these dates are NOT required, but will help our coaches see you play so they can select the teams. We are requiring all players being considered for the RCC teams to pay the $20 fee, regardless if they can attend all sessions.
- Teams will be announced on March 21, 2020. For the players that are selected to the teams, we will forward the specific training practice schedule.
- Evaluation dates will be:
| Saturday, March 7, 2020 | Torrey Pines High School | 11:00a-1:00p |
| Saturday, March 14, 2020 | Torrey Pines High School | 11:00a-1:00p |
| Saturday, March 21, 2020 | Torrey Pines High School | Time TBD |
Here is more information about the Regional Club Championship Tournament, which is an USFHA Event.
Only the top sixteen U-14, U-16 and U-19 teams from the Regional Club Championships will earn a ticket to the National Club Championship in 2020. One club team in each division will claim the highly coveted title of National Club Champion. The National Club Championship is an ideal opportunity for clubs to compete against each other in a highly competitive atmosphere and coincides with USA Field Hockey’s mission of growing playing opportunities and the game of field hockey in the United States.
