The 18U Patriots are an A-level team that plays a competitive travel schedule. If you are interested in playing in college or just want to finish your career playing at the highest level, we would love to see you! We will have a mostly 2020 team this season and are looking for other 2020s (other years will be considered). We are planning to play a modified schedule this summer to accommodate all of our seniors.
