THE DOGS STANDARD
1 of 10 in the Nation: We are sponsored by the AND1 Connect League as a premier program for both our boys and girls teams. Only 10 programs hold this distinction—putting Beaver Dam, WI on a circuit with powerhouse clubs from cities like Las Vegas, Chicago, Lexington, and Sacramento.
No Parent-Coaches: We maintain a strict no-parent-coaching rule to facilitate objective, player-focused coaching.
INVESTMENT & ACCESSIBILITY

In 2026, The Dogs proudly awarded over $25,000 in player scholarships.
