New for winter 2026-2027, these classes are designed for Strand junior players with rallying ability or the strong potential to develop it. There are two tiers in this progression, an orange-ball tier for ages 7-9, and a green-ball tier for ages 9-11, as students progress towards yellow-ball success at ages 11 & up.
Prior to registration in these classes, players must be evaluated, recommended, and approved by Strand staff.
