Training Time: 3 practices a week throughout the entire season. The following page details the practice calendar. Cost Effective: Scheduled quality competition, while seeking low-cost tournament locations and avoiding stay-to-play events in order to give parents control of their lodging and dollar. Academic Friendly: Selected tournaments within reasonable travel distances in order to miss the least amount of school and work. Game Footage: Carolina Edge will film one match per day at all events to post to our YouTube account for players and parents to link, download, edit, and send to coaches. We will also have video sessions included within our Thursday practice sessions. Vertimax Training: Edge will have multiple Vertimax platforms to include within their Monday, Tuesday, Saturday, and Sunday practice sessions. The resistance system will be used to increase explosion vertically and laterally, which in turn translates to increased performance on the court. Tournament Flexibility: Once the rosters are established, the tournament schedule will be evaluated with the families to ensure their ideal balance of cost and recruiting exposure.
Head Coach: Emma Celentano Assistant Coach: Leigh Mullins
