Sundays 1:00–2:30 PM
Green Ball
Ninety minutes — coached practice, then the round robin. Small group.
Fall 2026 — registration open
Six Sundays. One crew. Real games every week.
The Next Gen Youth Fall Season runs 6 Sundays at Walter Johnson High School in Bethesda, MD, — Green Ball 1:00–2:30 PM, Yellow Ball 2:30–4:00 PM. Coached practice first, then a rotating-partner round robin, so every kid partners with everyone in the group across the season.
$225 per player for the full season · Small groups, first come first serve.
The season is a full-season commitment paid up front, and it’s non-refundable once you register — your player’s spot is held for all six Sundays. If a Sunday washes out we use the rain dates, and if we ever have to cancel sessions outright, we refund what we didn’t run.
