The competition in the CPL is excellent, and all Junior Academy league play will take place no farther than Charleston. Teams will be placed in appropriately competitive brackets to ensure quality games and an overall experience that supports personal development and strong team cohesion.
Tournaments:

We focus on competitive matchups, team bonding, and player progression — all without excessive travel. We believe that our combination of meaningful league play and appropriately placed tournaments offers each player the chance for extensive individual and team growth.
Our positive environment allows all players to THRIVE!
