Impact - Select Travel
The JHYS Impact program is designed for those players who wish to challenge themselves and develop their skills in a competitive environment during our traditional off seasons. Impact is a tryout based program that gives our most motivated players in the U11/U12 and U13/U14 age groups an introduction to a higher level of competition, and the opportunity to compete against strong opposition in the broader mountain west region. There are two Impact seasons, one in winter, and one in the summer. Players may play during one or both seasons, however, there will be a separate selection process for each season. Players should expect focused, high level training sessions with a heavy emphasis on tactical awareness and positional play.
