1. Who pays for my trip?

Players are generally responsible for covering their own travel expenses, including flights, accommodations, and tournament fees.

We’re committed to making these experiences as accessible as possible and will guide you every step of the way.

Each trip may vary, but packages typically include tournament registration, uniforms, free camps, Pama experiences and coaching. Full details are shared for each specific event.

15. How do I know if I’ll play for a PGKA or PAMA team?

Team placement depends on the tournament, your age group, skill level, and roster availability. We also consider your history in our system—players who are already in our PGKA database or part of an official PGKA club have priority when assigning spots. In general: PGKA teams focus on player development, international experience, and inclusion. PAMA teams are more competitive and may require coach invitation or higher-level experience. Once you apply, our staff will review your profile, playing history, and current team affiliation to place you on the team that fits you best.
