Downstate Aspire Teams
Downstate's Aspire program is designed for those athletes that enjoy the training, and camaraderie of team sports. These are often athletes that are seeking to make a high school team or want to improve their skills to be more of an impact player. While players are still expected at practices (and tournaments), it's a more relaxed environment than our higher-level National and Regional teams.
Highlights of the program include:
Aspire Youth Academy (AYA) for 8th graders and younger. Practices will be led by top Downstate National Team coaches.
Two practices a week.
5 months of training, beginning the week after Thanksgiving and continuing through the end of April.
All coaches are IMPACT certified and undergo extensive training with Downstate, as well as work with our Aspire program Technical Director.
5 "Club" level local tournaments, when available for the age group.
The top AYA team (8th grade & younger), per grade, will have the opportunity for an overnight travel tournament.
