Northern Vortex

03/25/2026

With an extremely heavy heart, we send our deepest condolences to the Rodberg family. The Northern Vortex has lost one of our own. 💔
Coach Johnny meant so much to so many—his impact on this program, our athletes, and our entire community is something that will live on forever. There are no words to truly express how much he will be missed, but we promise this: we will honor him, and we will keep his name alive within this program.
Northern Vortex and Elite Sports Complex are coming together to support the Rodberg family through a fundraiser. Starting Friday the 27th, we will be selling Coach Johnny t-shirts.
Every dollar spent will go directly to the Rodberg family.
If you were ever coached by Coach Johnny, your shirt has already been taken care of—just come in and pick it up at Elite Sports Complex. ❤️
We will also be running a pickleball event for Johnny's family the following Wednesday, April 1—April Fool's Day—perfect for Johnny!
Let’s come together the way he always brought us together. Let’s show up, support, and take care of one another.
Forever in our hearts. Forever Vortex. 🖤

Who is excited for this season?

01/12/2026

Thank you to everyone who attended tryouts last week. We truly appreciate the strong turnout and the continued support of Northern Vortex. It was great to see so many familiar faces and athletes who have been part of our program at some point over the years.

We had an excellent turnout, and based on current numbers, we are projecting approximately seven teams for this season. Over the next couple of weeks, we will be finalizing registrations, rosters, and overall team numbers. Thank you for your patience as we work through this process.

Tournament schedules and practice days will be released within the next couple of weeks. Please note that hotel blocks have already been secured for upcoming tournaments, and details will be shared once teams and schedules are finalized.

If you were unable to attend tryouts and still need a tryout, please email [email protected] or call Elite Sports Complex to set up an individual tryout date.

⚠️ Important: If you are interested in securing a roster spot, please reach out as soon as possible. Teams are currently filling, and once teams are full, spots will no longer be available.

Thank you again for being part of Northern vortex. We’re excited about the upcoming season and look forward to what’s ahead.
