Selection Process

Our athletes come from across the United States, and we do not use a traditional tryout process to form our teams. Instead, our coaching staff conducts a thorough evaluation of each player before making placement decisions. This process includes verifying all submitted player details, reviewing game footage (when provided), analyzing LiveBarn and other game film, and, when necessary, speaking directly with coaches. We even review social media to get a well-rounded understanding of each athlete. While this process is meticulous and time-intensive, it allows us to accurately gauge both a player’s abilities and their character, ensuring that every team is competitive and well-balanced.
