Our 14U program — launching Fall 2026 — will establish the competitive foundations and work habits that define Meridian athletes. The 16U program builds on that with a focus on technique, tactical understanding, and team-centered play, while an 18U program will advance into sophisticated movement, refined execution, and high-IQ decision-making. Together, these programs represent a complete development journey — building confident, skilled, and mentally tough players ready to lead at the next level.
