Virginia Elite received some exciting news that they have been selected as one of the few programs in the country to participate in Under Armour’s new tournament circuit. Boys in grades 4th-8th will compete in the UA Future Circuit while our High School Boys and Girls will hit the hardwood on the UA RISE Circuit.
This new UA circuit will provide exposure and potential opportunities for our players to showcase their skills in front of college coaches during the spring and summer. “Many parents and children think that in order to get better and play in college they have to be on a specific circuit. This is false as we have been doing this for 15 years and have tons of kids who have played at every level. This particular new opportunity with Under Armor will only make our program stronger while sticking to the values we believe in as an organization”.
