UC Irvine Grass Ninjas, Cal Poly SLO Motion, Occidental College Women’s Air Corps, and UCLA Midas will be joining us for a full day of team skills development and strategy. Each team will be led through the day by an experienced Safari player, with a curriculum designed specifically for them by Without Limits and their guest coach. After each skills development or strategy session, teams will have the opportunity to put what they learn into practice in a scrimmage.
These four teams will also have the opportunity to participate in all of the Pres Day action and will have front row seats to watch some of the best college women’s teams in the nation in the first big tournament of the year. This weekend represents an excellent opportunity for these teams to take their game to the next level and to incorporate insights and teaching from some of the best club players in Southern California.
