The number of teams varies each year based on the number of participants and the distribution of skills. Typically, we aim to form multiple teams at each grade level to ensure that all players are placed appropriately according to their skill level and developmental needs. There will be 1 Academy Team per grad year, 2 Pre-Academy U12 Teams, and select teams as needed. 

T1 teams are comprised of players from various towns across the region. We pride ourselves on drawing talented athletes from a wide geographic area, fostering a diverse and dynamic team environment.  

Academy – State Team  
North – Northern Chicago Suburbs (Winnetka, Lake Forest, Glenview and more!)  
West - Western Chicago Suburbs (Naperville, Lisle, Downers Grove and more!)  
Tri-CIty – St. Charles, Batavia, Geneva, South Elgin and surrounding towns  

To determine the best team for your child, we consider their performance during tryouts, ongoing skill assessments, and our observations of their understanding of the game and commitment level. Our coaches are dedicated to placing each player in an environment where they can excel and continue developing their skills. We encourage you to discuss your child’s developmental goals and any previous evaluations with our coaching staff, who can provide personalized advice on the most appropriate team placement for your child. 

In our Academy programs, playing time is determined by coaches based on tournament dynamics and team goals and is not guaranteed. In our Select programs, we strive to balance competitive play with equal playing time, ensuring that all players can participate and develop during tournaments.

Joining a Team ONE club team involves several costs, including dues, uniform fees, personal travel expenses, and additional costs for special events or extra training sessions. These are outlined at the start of the season to ensure transparency.

We support and encourage our athletes to be multisport participants. However, this can affect roster planning, so we ask to be informed in advance about any potential conflicts to accommodate and plan accordingly.
