ELITE LEVEL TEAMS
Elite level teams, also known as Open Level in New England, include high school players in the 13U - 18U age groups. Maine Juniors elite level teams have the labels National, Gold, Silver and Bronze. These teams are composed of experienced players, and require a higher cost to participate, some have more practices each week and extended travel experiences. National & Gold teams should generally expect to participate in the most out-of-region (“National”) travel for tournaments. The Bronze level teams have the least strenuous travel schedule but are designed to have competitive games & practices. The most Elite teams require a higher level of commitment from the players when accepting a position on a team.
