How do the Coastal Crush Competitive Teams work?
Coastal Crush teams have 1 to 2 team practices with their coaches per week while participating in various tournaments throughout the season.
How many players are on a team?
The format for most tournaments is 5v5 so rosters will be made up of 8-10 players in order to maximize development.
​
Each high school-level team (7v7) consists of 12-1 players. If there are enough players at a particular grade level to form two teams, they will be designated as the Blue team and Gold team, with player placement determined by the coaches.
The club reserves the right to move individual players between teams as needed. As a player’s skills and commitment level progress, they may be invited to join a higher-level team. These roster adjustments ensure each team competes at the appropriate level while maximizing the development and experience of every player.
