Our Developmental Programs are for players aged Under 7 up to Under 11 that wish to train and play in a fun development focused environment. Players are assigned to a "Paradise Explosion" Representative Team and will train weekly and play in the Metro League during the summer against other associations.

Additional Program Details
EVERYONE WELCOME Everyone is welcome to participate in our Explosion Development Programs. Places are filled on a first come first served basis. All Explosion registrants will have the opportunity to play/train year round and participate in summer leagues. At Under 11 where leagues are tiered players will be assessed in the fall and continually throughout the program and in the spring those that are ready may be assigned to "Select" Groups that will prepare to play in the higher tiers. We do not have tryouts at these age groups and players will not be "cut" from teams. Subject to facility and coaching capacity our goal is to accommodate everyone interested in our Development Programs. Places are limited in the indoor season and returning players will be prioritized over newcomers. We welcome seasonal players to come out to our Spring Assessments and at that point wherever possible we will expand the number of teams to meet the number of players interested!
