indoor season info
2026 winter
We are hosting two rounds of tryouts (Nov. 15 & Nov. 22) for all athletes who want to participate in NEE’s indoor season (U14, U16 & U19) - athletes are encouraged to attend both tryouts, but only one is necessary to be evaluated.
After Nov. 22nd, we will be narrowing down our list of players. However, team selections will not be posted officially until after our 3rd week of evaluations, after call backs, on Dec. 7th.
NEE Indoor teams range from U12- U19, with opportunities to compete at either local, regional, or national tournaments in each age group.
For the U14, U16, and U19 age groups, participation in Indoor Season, and placement on a particular team is determined via a tryout process. For U12 we will use the first practice on Dec 13th as evaluation for team selection.
NEE Indoor Season consists of 10 Saturday or Sunday sessions (all age groups) and 8 Weeknight Skills Sessions (U14, U16 & U19) leading up to local and/or national tournaments, dependent on team placement.
Practices will occur from Dec - Feb.

U12 OVERVIEW
As always, at NEE we strive to continue building our youth program. Depending on the numbers, players may be separated into teams or training squad, but we welcome any and all U12 girls and boys into our program.
If U12 registration numbers exceed court capacity, we may need to make cuts this year based on final numbers. Should cuts be necessary, a refund—minus the cost of the tryout sessions—will be issued to your account.
This is the age we want kids to begin training at a higher level, but also fall in love with the sport. Give us a try, BEGINNERS ENCOURAGED!
