TFE (Team Florida Elite) players will receive the most intense training and coaching from our TOP Coaches. They will be put to the test and have the opportunity to participate in the most competitive tournaments and Club Playdays throughout the Southeast. There’s a tremendous level of commitment to be a TFE team player, not just from the players and parents, but from our coaches as well. This will be a team of future college level players and is structured for players that will go the extra mile to make their future college goals a reality.

Select Players – All other players in the club who will receive our top of the line training and coaching. Select team members are players that are looking to improve their game and are working hard to get on a Varsity team or become a starter or impact player on your High School team. A Select player is thinking about playing in college, but have not made up their mind and not ready to make the commitment that’s required to get to that level. And of course Select players are the up and coming and developmental players that are new to the sport.

If you are a TFE (Team Florida Elite) Member, 2 practices a week and Rage Playdays are mandatory. To be a TFE Player, you must be willing to commit to at least three (3) tournaments during the summer season and three (3) tournaments during the fall season. Unexcused missed practices will result in limited playing time for TFE team members.

If you are a Select Player member of our Club, practices and tournaments are not mandatory, but of course, we highly encourage all Select players to come to all practices and playdays to get the most out of our Club experience.

Most club communications will occur through emails, so check and read your email daily. If you change your email, please let us know. We will also host one “parent/player” meeting to go over travel procedures, recruiting, summer schedule, fundraising opportunities, and answer any questions. We encourage every family to create a Southern Rage file folder and to print all emails. It is the “players” club so we expect the players to be proactive and read all the emails with their parents. The experience is ultimately the player’s responsibility.

There are 2 methods of travel:

1. Solo - Southern Rage handles your travel and the supervision of the player. We will secure all travel needs (except for flight). If you would like your child to be on a chaperoned flight and escorted, information will be provided and you will have to book them on the flights that will have coaching staff available. Otherwise, we will give you a time frame to arrive and we will pick you up from the airport. If you pick a flight that does not arrive during the allotted time slots, it will be your responsibility to find transportation to the hotel. If your flight is delayed, you will need to contact us so we can arrange pick up. It will be your responsibility to have your coach’s phone number on you and to keep in touch if you are not on a chaperoned flight. Once on site, the only money Solo’s will need is for food and anything you might want to purchase form the vendors.
2. Buddy - Parent - You choose to travel with your parent or a friend’s parent who will be responsible for you. You arrange your entire travel (flight, hotel accommodations, and ground transportation). We will let you know about our team hotel and we encourage you to stay in the team hotel. However, it is your responsibility to know the team’s schedule and you will be required to be at practices, tournament games, team activities, and team meetings on time.

Players are required to bring all Southern Rage appeal to every event (this includes all issued items).

Training in your high school, youth program, or other club’s reversible during Southern Rage events and practices is not allowed.

For local practices, you are required to have your penny (as well as all lacrosse equipment).

• Players will be expected to show up to practice and tournaments on time, one hour before the first scheduled game and thirty (30) minutes before each subsequent game.
• Equal playing time is not guaranteed for every member, although it is a high priority and every player will play extensively. Policy violations and poor sportsmanship will affect playing time and can lead to tournament/club expulsion.
