Our system is designed around a “pathway”, starting from the red/green/orange dot program and graduating into the high school or high performance program, and then developing fully as a competitive player.
We try not to rush advancement from one class to another, and instead focus on full mastery of what that level has to offer. Moving up is normally done at the recommendation of the coach, when they feel the student is ready.
We also like to keep certain groups together who train well with each other.
We believe that a competitive environment is the best place to learn to compete. We try to create a place that is highly competitive, and where students are pushing themselves to improve through all levels: technically, athletically, strategically, and in the field of self-mastery.
