Prep Dig Gauntlet To Combine 17s and 18s For Elite Division
The Prep Dig Gauntlet is less than one month away with teams competing from five different states in Madison, WI on Saturday June 1 and 2. We are having a strong and competitive field shaping up with teams who will be heading the JVA route for Nationals as well as the USA route. FC Elite from Appleton, WI has four teams that have a National bid in their 14s, 15s, 16s, and 17s as well Midwest Penguins with their 14s. From Iowa we have the Iowa Rockets 15R, Iowa Rockets 16R, and Central Iowa Select 17M who have locked in bids to USAV as well.
We are going to open up the 17s and 18s division by combining all teams from 17 Club, 17 Open, and 17/18 Club. This will make for a much more competitive field with top level teams. 18s are able to play! For athletes who want one more chance to compete before they head off to college, a player who has competed up a level on an 18s team from the Class of 2020, or a 17s team who could be a few players short are able to pull from an 18s team.
For coaches right now, you can register your team under 17/18 Open at AES: https://www.advancedeventsystems.com/events/16753/divisions
