Winter Programs Overview

Windy City Winter season offers programs for all age groups and levels of commitment in our club - Roots, Academy, Select and Travel. For additional small group training we also offer Stride for grades 7-12.

Winter is the season where the majority of time is devoted to skills development in preparation for league play in spring and summer. These programs require different levels of commitment for athletes to choose from and satisfy nearly everyone's desire to develop their play. Players in the Select Division are eligible to tryout for the Travel Division during Winter. For more detailed information about each program, click on the link on the left bar.
