Invite-Only Field
Elite national and regional programs only, with space limited to preserve competitive balance.
About The Arena
One Journey. Three Destinations.
An invite-only championship series bringing together the top national and regional club teams across North America for three stops of elite competition.
What It Is
The Arena
The Arena is an invite-only championship series bringing together the top national and regional club teams from across North America in a three-stop journey designed to develop and challenge elite players through meaningful, championship-driven competition.
It is built for programs that measure themselves against the best — where the schedule has consequence, the venues carry weight, and every result in October still matters in January.
Five divisions play the series: graduation years 2031 through 2034 at every stop, with the class of 2030 joining for the Paradise Cup in Naples.
The best teams. The biggest moments. The highest standard.
The Journey
Annapolis ➝ Naples ➝ TBA
Three stops, one pathway — from a college experience in October, to a championship weekend in January, to a third destination in the spring/summer.
