*NEW for 2023-2024* Due to increased liability and cost of travel, NYC Juniors will no longer have athletes stay together in hotel rooms. Athletes will travel and stay with a guardian for all tournaments. If a guardian is not able to attend, families must arrange for their athlete to travel and stay with a teammate.
This change will accomplish the following:
- Reduced cost for families - It has been our experience that a majority of families travel with their athletes to most events, which previously meant a family would be paying for their hotel room in addition to paying for their athlete's hotels as part of season fees.
- No need for team chaperones - It has often been a struggle to secure team chaperones, and the undertaking is immense, including significant time, money and responsibility supervising athletes, and balancing budget.
- Hotel Options - NYC Juniors will still secure blocks of rooms to fulfill tournament housing requirements, and to provide an opportunity for teams to stay in close proximity to one another. We will not need to block as many rooms, and families will have the option to choose where they stay, allowing for personal preference.
2023-2024 Teams and Fees
Limited financial aid is available. Families will be asked to indicate their need for financial aid as part of the tryout application.
