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.
