High Street Club Philosophy

High Street Club Philosophy FAQ

How are teams formed?

Teams are formed appropriately for positional needs, skill set and personalities. This is important to our structure to ensure we are able to place athlete where they are best FIT for that season, that position, that individual. Roster formation happens from tryouts throughout the fall.

Why don't you share the rosters and practice/tournament schedules before the season starts?

We ask our families to commit to our club based on beliefs, resources, education and philosophy. Because of this, we do not release rosters until all rosters are full.

We form practice schedules based on athlete conflicts, best as possible, and have make up practice opportunities. The roster needs to be full to begin this process.

We want you to be able to select your club based on the program, not the travel or practice schedule. Our travel schedules are selected, by the director, according to the needs of each team. These needs could be multi-sport athletes, level of athletes, date conflicts, etc. Until the team is formed, the details cannot be formed to best suit each family.

When families select clubs for schedules and rosters, product is rarely delivered as these two items are not directly correlated with individual success.

What is Master Training?

Master Training is direction/teaching from 1 person in the practice slot with implementation of the skill carried out by the coach of the team, to the team. All athletes and families can believe in the quality of instruction, regardless of team, regardless of coach. All athletes in all of our locations receive all of our best!

Do you allow Payment Plans?

Yes, our registration offers 5 payment or 3 payment installment plan options for club levels Regional, Regional Plus, and National and a 3 payment installment option for AAU. There is a required $500 deposit for all club levels (AAU, Regional, Regional Plus, and National) and the remainder of the balance is be broken into equal installments. You may pay by credit/debit card (additional processing fees apply) or cash or check. You also have the option of paying in full.
