Your athlete will pick the game up quickly no matter their age. There are intricacies in the game as with any sport however the basics are very simple to learn.

Tips are found in the player resources section of this site to help your athlete become proficient in all of the basic skills (and some advanced tricks). You Tube is a great resource for beginner drills and tips as well.

Q: Is there a mobile app for my team?

A:Yes! You can download the Crossbar app from the apple store or google play store. When your athlete is assigned to a team you will be able to see all team related information and communicate with your team through the app. It is not functional until your athlete is assigned a team. In the meantime, the mobile website is user friendly as well.
