How do you earn the black PSA jersey with the Gold Star?

While the focus of the five School Of Excellence sessions is on technical development for ALL players, the idea behind the Academy teams is to test the most technically proficient players at PSA against high level competition across the region.

10-12 players are selected in each age group (and gender) and are given the opportunity to compete against some of the best clubs across the region. Each player selected for the Academy Team is presented with a black PSA academy jersey and a gold star. Each year a player is selected for the academy team an additional gold star is added to their jersey.

In the fall of 2006 Ellie Peters, Tanner Haughn, Hunter Peifer, Ashlyn Hare and Michelle Moure became the first PSA players to represent the Academy teams in all three years that they were eligible.
