PLAYER GUIDANCE
New players usually fall into two groups: those who know what position they want, and those unsure and looking for guidance. Both are completely fine, the main thing is being open to coaching.We’ll do our best to let you try your preferred position, but you may be better suited elsewhere or face strong competition in certain spots. Coaches will guide you to where you can develop and contribute best.Our goal is to help every player grow and find the right fit for the team.
