PINNACLE TRAVEL TEAMS
ANN ARBOR BASED TEAMS
Pinnacle began with one travel team in 2009. Since then, our Ann Arbor based travel program has grown to support teams at U12, U14, U16 and the U19 levels. In 2025/26 we plan to add club programs for the youngest athletes, U8 and U10.
We are proud of the success our teams have experienced, proud of the rich history of athletes reaching their potential and continuing their career in college. Beyond that we are proud of the young women our athletes grow into. Our focus on growing communication, confidence, courage and compassion, our 4 Cs, provides the foundation for our development.
How are Pinnacle Travel Team Athletes Selected?
Tryouts are typically held in July to select our travel teams for the upcoming year (Sept.- early July U12/U14 and November – early July U16/19). It is recommended that athletes new to Pinnacle register and attend our summer program prior to tryouts.
A word about U8/10 travel?
Since U8/U10 teams are new to Pinnacle we wanted to provide some guidance on what we foresee for these developmental teams.. Our emphasis will be three-fold: 1) A focus on enjoyment to develop a passion for the game 2) a focus on local/regional game opportunities 3) a focus on flexibility so athletes can continue to discover other personal interests.
