Competitive Program
(Inactive, Please refer to our Force Academy programs)
Registration for the Competitive Program is sent directly after the completion of a tryout
Program Description:
The competitive teams, named Power, Rage, Titans and Attack are all seasonal based teams, in that they may play in the winter season, and the summer season. Entering onto these teams is first done through a try-out. Please check out our “Tryout for OSU” top tab for more information. Players will generally receive two practices plus a game as part of their program, and minimal additional travel for festivals or tournaments is required. Generally speaking, when combining both the winter and summer programs the competitive program operates for about 34-36 weeks. Lastly, registration is generally paid prior to the start of the season in one or two installments.
