Parade fields one of the highest number of teams in the ACC competition across a number of divisions, which allows us to find a balance between participation and the pursuit of victory.

Access to these facilities and coaching expertise support our high-quality curriculum, training and competition, ensuring we provide an exceptional environment for athletic development.
