Project Midwest offers National Team opportunities to member's players using two unique platforms. PMW is excited to be a member of The Circuit, powered by Nike, to offer players between 5th and 8th grades the chance to compete in the most exclusive and competitive environment. The PMW Youth National Teams will participate in 2 events throughout the year with the hopes of being one of the top 4 teams in the country where they will attend the Circuit Final Four, to see which group is crowned as the best team in the country!
Our rising 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th graders will participate with Team Project Midwest at the Naptown Challenge, to compete against the other top clubs from around the country.
PMW hosts a fall and Summer Invitational that is open to any non-member clubs that would like to participate. These events serve as two of the largest recruiting opportunities in the Midwest. Additional offerings to all players in the Midwest include both a fall and Summer Recruiting Showcase for all high school athletes. There will also be a Youth Showcase for all 5th - 8th graders prior to the Summer Invitational, which will serve as the tryout for The Circuit.
When a player registers for Project Midwest; the guardian is responsible for all fees associated with accepting that position. All fees are expected in a timely manner as outlined at the time of registration. All fees are considered non-refundable. However, we do realize that at times there are extenuating circumstances, such as injury, that might prohibit the player from participating in PMW after securing their spot with the TEAM. If this is the case, the PMW administration will review each situation on a case-by-case basis and determine if an exception can be made to refund a portion of the registration fee. If a refund request is not injury related, PMW administration will credit your account for future sessions if such a cancellation is deemed necessary. This will only be the case in exceptional situations and is not a guarantee of reimbursement. To be considered, a request for a refund must be submitted prior to the start of event activity.
