National Team Pool

Once athletes are evaluated and selected, they enter our National Teams Pool and have the option to participate in the USVI National Teams Program in variety of ways. Most will compete for a position on one of our National Teams based on their age eligibility. They will also have the option to join our Elite Team program. They may also choose to select one pathway over the other. The choice, which is largely the athletes, is made in consultation with our coaching staff, and is based on the players training, development and recruitment objectives, opportunities and priorities.
