NO B TEAMS OR STUFFED ROSTERS

  • BLUE WAVE VARSITY-Garcia is for ALL high school varsity starters regardless of grad year, but mostly juniors (2026 grad year) and incoming seniors (2025 grads). Is coached by Aron Garcia and will play in the top division (17U or 18U) of several top local showcase events.
