Do I need experience to play?

• For MS and JV - No! We have fabulous coaches who will teach you the game!! The purpose is to develop a love of the game and develop the necessary skills to be competitive.

• For Varsity - Typically. Varsity is the highest level of interscholastic play and though in some cases sheer athleticism will be enough to make a varsity team, most varsity programs are looking for players with the technical skills developed within a MS or JV program.

Team Fees:

• Team fees vary by program.

• We believe that money should never get in the way of the desire to play (scholarships available)!! Contact Sarah (Coach K - info@charlotteambush.com) for information about need-based scholarships.

• You can pay all at once or use a payment plan option.

• Team Fees cover all the nuts and bolts that it takes to run a sports program - coaches, umpires, field space, EMTs, equipment, etc.
