Team Names
The numeric designation with each team indicates year of high school graduation. (See Age Policy).
• Gold teams are the most competitive and have a significant travel obligation.
• Navy and White teams have a somewhat less travel requirement but have a similar training requirement.
Age Policy
Tophat requires players to play in their age appropriate group. Players do not play up, with two exceptions. For college recruiting and team integrity reasons, Tophat strongly encourages high school age players who are a year ahead in school to play with the team with which they will graduate. Secondly, goalkeepers are infrequently assigned to a different age group than their normal age group.
