About Aim High

Built by a local family.
Run like one.

Aim High was founded by parents whose kids grew up playing sports right here. After years of coaching and mentoring, we wanted to give kids more: a place to compete, make friends, build confidence and prepare for life beyond the field.

Winning matters, but never at the expense of a child's confidence, self‑worth or love of the game.

FAQ

Questions?
Answered.

Ask us
Rec or Elite: what's the difference?

Rec players register individually and we build balanced teams from preseason assessments. Elite lets friends, school groups and established teams register and stay together in a more competitive league.

Why should my player attend assessments?

Assessments help us understand each player's experience and ability so we can build balanced teams. It's how we keep Rec truly recreational.

Can my child play with friends?

Yes. Request friends during Rec registration and we'll do our best to honor it. In Elite, your group registers together as one team.

How much will my child play?

Everyone plays. Every player gets at least three quarters of every game.

Is financial help available?

Yes. Every Kid Plays helps cover registration, equipment and other costs for families facing financial hardship.

What's the refund policy?

No refunds after a child completes assessments. You'll receive an account credit to use on a future season.
