Academy Open House Camp (May, 2016)

2016 NTH Open House Camp night 2NASA Tophat hosts an Academy and Junior Academy open house camp prior to each year’s tryout sessions. The 2016 camp runs Monday, May 23rd through Thursday, May 26th. The camp is open to all players (whether currently playing at NASA Tophat or another club) who were born between 2005 and 2010. Girls may attend any combination of sessions.

Purpose

2016 NTH Open House Camp night 4The open house camp gives prospective players a chance to meet the Academy coaches and experience an Academy training session in a low-pressure situation prior to formal tryouts. (We do our best to keep our tryouts low-key, but the word tryout itself tends to create pressure.) The camp also gives current and prospective players the opportunity to get extra touches in a competitive environment to sharpen their skills before tryouts.
