Back by popular demand, we are excited to participate in the TOCA (formerly BLAST) league! This is a team specific program so there must be enough players in each age group for the team to participate.

Benefits of the TOCA league:
- The game is very fast so players improve their endurance throughout the offseason.
- Smaller field size enables players to get a lot of touches on the ball, improving technical skills they have learned in Skills and Scrimmages Fridays and Game Brain Clinic.
- It's just a lot of fun so teams bond.
