Each year, there are two Developmental Program seasons – spring/summer and fall/winter. For the fall/winter season, tryouts will take place in early fall and for the summer season, in early spring. Tryouts take place in Southern California in Huntington Beach and/or Hermosa Beach.

Teams are carefully selected by p1440’s team of coaches and trainers who evaluate individuals across numerous technical and tactical scenarios. While each player is evaluated individually, teams are selected to be a part of the program, not individual players.

The fee to try out is $150/team.

In unique situations, coaches can extend invitations to teams they believe would benefit from participation in the program and increase the overall skill level of the program. These invitations are offered at the discretion of the coaching staff and are not open for solicitation of teams.

Any athlete interested in the program must find a partner for tryouts. Partners can be changed throughout the season.

Once dates are announced, interested athletes can register at https://play.p1440.com/.

The teams participate in training groups located in Hermosa Beach, CA or Huntington Beach, CA in the morning 1-3 days/week for 2 hours, depending on the season. We offer 20 weeks of practices for both men and women for the summer session.

We welcome players from all over the world.
