2011-2012 U9-U16 ACADEMY DETAILS
With Phase #1 now complete, we now look forward to a successful Phase #2 beginning January 15th.
The Academy in 2011 and 2012 will be run in three phases. Phases #1 and # 2 are primarily training & development phases (each phase includes 12 sessions - 24 weeks). Phase #1 of the Academy was run on Sunday afternoons and evenings at Bear Mountain Stadium or Goudy. Phase #2 will also be run on Sunday afternoons but all sessions will be held at Bear Mountain Stadium.
- Participants will have had a choice to register for Phase # 1 or Phase # 2 separately at a cost of $350.00 per segment or register for both phases (24 sessions) for $650.00, and participants 2002 born and younger registration cost $175.00 when registering for Phase #1 or Phase #2 separately, or participants can register for both phases (24 sessions) for $300.00.
- With Phase #1 complete, participants must now register for Phase #2 at a cost of $350.00 or if 2002 born and younger can register at a cost of $175.00.
Phase #3 will be a competitive developmental segment where players will train twice per week in age group Development Teams in order to play several exhibition games and attend two summer tournaments (to be determined). *Summer Tournaments will include additional costs to the participants.
- The price of Phase #3 is not set as tournaments that the players will attend has not been determined and the exhibition/training game schedule has yet to be put together. There will be additional travel expenses for tournaments and potential away games. There will be an option in this Phase for players to register for only one training session per week for $350.00).
New REFERRAL PROGRAM
We have launched a REFERRAL PROGRAM within the Academy. This is how it works.
We will offer you a $50.00 credit towards your next Academy Registration Fee when a friend you referred to our program registers in full and attends (this applies only if the participant is a new registration).
Bonus!
There is no limit on the number of friends you can refer. For example, Bob registers for Phase Two, and Bob refers six new friends who register and take part in Phase Two. Bob consequently will receive $300.00 off of his next registration (i.e. Phase Three). If the registration fee for Phase Three is $300.00, then Bob attends for FREE.
If there are any questions about the referral program please contact Julie at 250-590-8432.
Training KIT
All players are required to train in Highlanders' equipment (Our equipment order is produced on the 15th of each month so take this into consideration when registering and making payment. A player registering on the 20th of the month may not receive kit until the end of the next month if inventory is unavailable). If players have been part of the Highlanders' programs they will not have to purchase additional KIT.
For information regarding our Prospects Program please refer to the Prospects Link.
