MWT-Hartland competes all five Xcel levels.  We hold tryouts during February (tryouts are delayed as our team is currently full)  each year to find new athletes for this team.  This is a competitive program that is based on FUN and is an extension of our recreational program.  Athletes workout from 5 – 8 hours per week and gain skills at their own pace.

For more information on tryout requirements…please .
