Philosophy/Purpose

Choosing the Right Program for your Child

We’ve tweaked the length and timing of our Programs so that we can offer continuous development opportunities at age groups between 4 and 18 and offer some at multiple times to fit everyone’s busy schedules. We recognize that not all children will enter the pathway at the same age or athletic skill level. Also, not all children will develop at the same rate once they enter. The key is that they are in a program appropriate for their skill level and that they feel comfortable socially. Recommended ages are guidelines only.

BYVC is now offering a Selects Program to offer a limited number of female athletes the ability to learn skills and participate in mini-tournaments and exhibitions against teams of similar age and skill-level from other nearby clubs, but in a fun and supportive environment. Check below for descriptions of the Selects Programs offered this season.
