Experienced players interested in winter club training without a pre-invitation to register may sign up for the 2020-2021 winter skills program and have a skills evaluation conducted at the first session on 12/6 for potential transfer into True Grit’s club training program.
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
- Technical instruction led by current and former Division I, II and III collegiate players. Curriculum focused on fast-tempo, high-rep, club level skills circuit training designed to improve players’ ball control, passing, receiving, shooting and defensive skill set.

- Individual training group sizes will be limited to 25 in keeping with current COVID-19 youth sports state guidance. Practice times will be issued prior to the first session once registration has closed and cohort training groups can be assigned for optimal development experience. Scheduled practice times will remain consistent for each athlete for the duration of the winter season, however individual cohort training groups may vary each week within the scheduled timeslot to ensure highest level of competitive experience at each session.
- Updated COVID-19 youth sport state guidance prohibits participation in tournaments, hosting out of state teams, or competition out-of-state without adhering to Massachusetts’ Travel Order (quarantine for 14 days or produce a negative COVID-19 test result that has been administered up to 72-hours prior to your arrival in Massachusetts. If COVID-19 test result has not been received prior to arrival, athletes must quarantine until negative test result is received).
- As a result of the latest state restrictions surrounding out-of-club competition, True Grit will focus on competitive intraclub game play each session. In addition, True Grit will invite select club players at each age group to participate in the following events:
- Edge 7v7 Winter League: January/February (Saturdays), Bedford MA
- College Connections Blizzard Bash Tournament (NH) 2/26/21-2/28/21
- College Connections Lucky 7s Tournament (NH) 3/5-3/7
- Scrimmages vs. MA clubs
