My daughter has never stayed at a hotel out of town/out of the state before.
Who will she be |
|
| |
staying with? Are there adults in the room? Do you have meetings in the rooms?
What if she |
|
| |
gets homesick? |
|
|
|
|
| |
| TeamXpress teams travel similar to Colleges in
terms of roommates (teammates). We want College coaches to know that
the players in the program are mature, have self-discipline and can
handle College athletics. Although there is very tight supervision,
curfews, and a tight schedule we want the student athletes in the
TeamXpress program to began to make good decisions and be disciplined
enough to get enough rest, be on time to all meetings, and compete
at the top of their game. Adults are not allowed in a players room
unless it is a medical emergency with the parents consent. All meetings
are in the hotel lobby. Most players at one point get homesick and
the TeamXpress family will always come together to ensure they will
have a great experience |

My daughter plays the post position on her high school team. She doesn't want to play the post in |
|
| |
college, nor is she big enough to. How will she be placed in position on your team? Will she get |
|
| |
specialized coaching/training for her position? Can you offer names of other coaches/trainers |
|
| |
who can work with her outside of the TeamXpress workouts? |
|
|
|
|
| |
| TeamXpress players will play there natural position
which is based on what position you can defend at an elite level or
(College). No player will be locked into a primary position. Our goal
is to prepare each individual player for College and create opportunities
to play in College at multiple positions. See the Elite Training link
for Individual and Clinic training. TeamXpress Teams are put through
weekly rigorous position training program in practice as well. |
