The Series
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 opens in historic Annapolis, where five pool games determine winter seeding and every athlete gets a college campus experience. It continues in sunny Naples, where teams arrive seeded by what they earned in the fall — and closes at a third destination in the spring/summer, to be announced.
The best teams. The biggest moments. The highest standard.

Why The Arena
Participation is limited to maintain competitive balance and a premium event experience — every element is built to test the best programs in the country.
Invite-Only Field
Elite national and regional programs only. Space is limited and invitations are extended on a rolling basis.
The College Experience
Grades 5–9 get a college campus experience during the fall weekend in Annapolis — a firsthand look at the daily standard of a college student-athlete.
Games That Matter
Purpose-driven pool play with real championship implications — fall results carry directly into winter seeding.
