NEXT LEVEL SKILLS
Athletes in our program(s) will receive their development around our curriculum administered by the Next Level Network of coaches. We make our Network up of seasoned veterans who have experience in developing team success and player growth.
THE NEXT LEVEL STAFF
The staff we have put together for our Next Level Training are some of the most experienced and respected coaches, players and instructors in the area.
THE NEXT LEVEL WAY
It is our goal the Stateline Sports Group programs are unique when compared to your typical club experience in the way we run our club, our model, and the values and believes we stand by. It is our goal to not have a one dimensional program focused on the outcomes involved in the sport (scholarships, trophies, etc.) Versus the growth of our athletes, families, and coaches.
