NoVa West’s High School teams offer their players the highest level of competition, coaching and recruiting exposure available in Northern Virginia. In our seven years of recruiting teams we have had 36 players graduate from our program and 32 of them have gone on to play collegiately.
 
The Crusaders focus on getting younger high school players early exposure and continued development throughout the summer. The Crusaders will now bridge the gape between the U15 Virus and NoVa West’s High School Elite Flamingos program.

Eligibility
The Crusaders will be made up of 24-26 players.  Players must also be rising freshman thru senior for the upcoming school year. The rosters size will be limited so that each player on the roster will get adequate playing time.
 
NoVa West requires a minimum GPA of 2.5 from all the players wishing to tryout for the High School level team. Why do we require this? Because NoVa West likes to consider itself unique among summer select teams in that our mission is to maintain a very high percentage of our players making it to the next level.  Most college coaches will not even talk to players with GPAs lower than 2.5 so we feel by putting this restriction on our players that we will be able to work with them and get them placed into a quality collegiate program.  Remember at some point the ball will stop bouncing and we all need to be able to fall back on our education to further our lives.
 
Drugs & Alcohol - NoVa West has a zero tolerance policy when it comes to drugs & alcohol, if any of our players are under the influence or are in possession of during any of our event the player will be removed from the team immediately without refund.
