FAQ

How do Level Classes work? Can I register my child for any Level?

Our most common registration question is which Level class or camp to choose for your child.

  • Levels are based on age groups — not skill level.
  • All levels are beginner-friendly; please register based on your child’s age.
  • Age brackets can vary by city.
Are Scholarships or Financial Aid Available?

We are thrilled to offer a Scholarship Program! This program helps young sports enthusiasts join a fun, skill-building environment. Youth Evolution offers scholarships directly, and depending on your location, some cities also provide scholarships through their Parks and Recreation Department. Send us a message to learn more.

You can also support access to classes and camps by donating to the Cali the Bear Foundation to help families in need.

How are groups formed?

We group by age and adjust for ability after the first session to keep activities balanced and fun.

Do you provide equipment?

Yes, we provide the necessary equipment. Players should bring water and wear appropriate shoes.
