This program is designed for athletes who can commit to the following:

Juggernaut provides Two different programs and various payment plans for its members.

To help decide which path to take, please read the following:

Your first decision should be "Travel" or "Partial-Travel"

Travel Teams

partial-Travel Teams

Travel teams are generally for those players chasing starting spots on their HS or Gold Crown team with the eventual goal of acquiring a college scholarship.

Travel teams practice one more day per week than non-travel teams and participate (travel) in 3-5 out-of-state competitions.

Our travel/practice commitment goes highest to lowest from Nat'l teams to Regional teams.

Partial-Travel teams leave CO once or twice under parent supervision to truly get the feel of national competition but with a stepping stone approach to ensure a smooth transition if you are new to club, or desire a higher level at some pint. 

They practice two days per week.

Most players in the Regional program strive to play this level to help them make their high school or Gold Crown team and are typically not looking to play beyond the "club" level in college.
