Team USA serves many purposes for HomeSchool Students who want to participate in an NCHC Event. A few of the main needs Team USA meets are:

  • HomeSchool Player’s whole team is not attending.
  • HomeSchool Student who does not have a team to play on.
  • Dual Rostering* Player who qualifies for more than one age group.

*This usually happens when players are “playing up” due to their program’s makeup. In this case, this happens when the team they are not receiving a lot of playing time on the current team they are on. For these situations, we always advise asking your team coach for permission before signing up for a dual roster.

The fees are;
$120- Basketball Nationals

$75- Basketball Regionals

Coaches will be parents; you may request to coach when your son/daughter fills out a form. A Team USA volunteer coach needs to understand that Team USA is designed to be a fun experience as opposed to a competitive experience. A Team USA Coach will be removed by tournament staff during the event if needed.

Team USA Rule #1: Team USA is designed to have fun and is an equal playing time opportunity.

Very Important:  Team USA cannot eliminate a team from the top bracket of the division they are placed in and cannot eliminate a team from trophy contention. In most situations, the opening game at an NCHC event will result in Team USA moving left in the brackets, regardless of the final score.  The only exception is pools, where Team USA will advance as the last-place finisher.  Their results against other teams will affect pool results however.

If this is an issue, please do not sign up for Team USA.

Team/Coach assignments will not occur until you arrive at the Event and meet your team. If you requested to be on someone’s team it will happen.
