If you own your equipment, we encourage you to use it. The Navigators will help provide access to equipment when possible and assist in finding grant opportunities for equipment funding.

How much does the program cost?

This program has no participation fee, allowing athletes to join without any upfront costs. However, families may incur expenses when athletes begin to travel with our competitive teams.
