Division Breakdown and Description
Division Breakdowns
We are looking to build a competitive and fun atmosphere. We offer four divisions to ensure your team gets the best tournament experience.
Level AA
If you have what it takes to compete at the top, this is your division. This is a hunt for the best of the best in the Midwest! If you have younger players that can hang…that is OK, throw them on the roster and let’s see some future legends in action. Simply put – you are really good – or have the desire to challenge yourself to be the best around.
Winning teams will win prizes and a free registration to next year’s tournament. All teams will play 3 round robin games and advance to the playoff brackets.
Level A
Not quite at the top, this is the place for you.
You can play, the kids on your team are talented – maybe even have a future star or two. You have a winning record, losses were hard fought, and if anything, you are looking for good close games, inviting the challenge.
Winning teams will win prizes and a free registration to next year’s tournament. All teams will play 3 round robin games and advance to the playoff brackets.
Level B
You are competitive, but there seems to be something missing, a hole to fill or after that first line, inexperienced FOGO or goalie, you just seem to struggle a bit. The players for the most part are experienced but still learning. You can play, just not at the top level.
Winning teams will win prizes and a free registration to next year’s tournament. All teams will play 3 round robin games and advance to the playoff brackets.
NO SANDBAGGERS – WE WILL KICK YOU OUT OF THE DIVISION
Level C
You are new, your players are new. You are here for the environment; you want to have some fun and expose the boys to a great weekend of lacrosse.
If we are being honest – winning is nice, but let’s just set out to have some fun. This is a festival format
All teams will play 4 round robin festival games.
NO SANDBAGGERS – WE WILL KICK YOU OUT OF THE DIVISION

School Accommodation Downe House
Dormitories are designed in such a way that each girl can build strong friendships with girls not only of her own age, but with the entire school community. Relationships between school staff and female students are generally positive and based on mutual respect.
Girls who enter Down House at age 11 live in the Hill and Hermitage dormitories, located near the school in the village of Cold Ash.
For girls aged 13-16, the school has five dormitories: “Aishot”, “Ancren Gate North”, “Ancren Gate South”, “Holcombe” and “Tedworth”.
In high school, girls live in dormitories “Willis” and “York”. There are excellent conditions for living, independent work and preparation for life at the university. In the last years of education, girls have more spacious rooms.
Female students have more responsibility for their own education and time planning. In addition, they regularly go to theaters, concerts and exhibitions.
On weekends, students can leave school.
Discipline at Downe House
Students who did not do their homework once will do it under the supervision of a teacher. For smoking, using drugs and alcohol, they are expelled from school.
Guardianship
All international students are required to have a guardian in the UK. Guardians are needed so that in the UK someone can act on behalf of the student and who can be contacted on educational matters and in case of emergencies. The guardian must be a UK resident, fluent in English and, in most cases, over 25 years of age.
The best option is to use the services of a professional guardian agency. For our part, we recommend using the services of the English company INTENSE EDUCATIONAL , which has been operating in this market since 1994.
Bob wished us good luck, there were no loud phrases. He thanked us for our work and wished us success. He admitted that he plans to spend more time with his family. He said thank you for our work, for the time when we fought together to reach the heights that we planned, thanked for this season. It was a little sad that he was leaving the club and the League. I liked him as a coach, I think that in these two years he gave me a lot as a player. His professional attitude to details, to the work process – of course, he has a lot to learn. And how much time he devotes to each player – I think it helped me a lot. During these two seasons with Bob, I grew not only as a professional hockey player and athlete, but also as a person. 
The offer was really interesting. I consulted with my relatives, discussed with the agent, and in the end we decided to stop at this option. Of course, I would not say that the choice was easy, since Avangard has become a special club for me in these two years. He did a lot for me, and I am very grateful to the whole organization, the coaching staff, the fans. We won the Gagarin Cup together, so, of course, it is not easy to leave, especially from such a team as we had in the first year and this season. Therefore, I repeat once again – the choice was not easy. 
When you get into a new team, you always have to re-gain the trust of the coaching staff and management. Therefore, everything will depend only on me, and I will do my best to help the team and show that I was not invited in vain.
