IS MY PLAYER EXPECTED TO ATTEND ALL PRACTICES AND GAMES?

100%. Players improve their game through consistent practice, hard work, and effort. Showing up is key to your player’s growth and to their team’s success. If your player needs to miss a practice or game due to illness or another extenuating circumstance, please update your availability in Teamsnap.

WHAT ARE YOUR PLAYER AND/OR PARENT EXPECTATIONS?

We hold our organization to the highest standards, and we have high expectations of our coaching staff, players, and players’ families. Our expectations are detailed in our pre-season team meeting.

HOW MANY PLAYERS ARE ON EACH TEAM ROSTER?

We cap our active roster at 12-13 players for our 11u & 12u divisions. This allows for all of our players to get plenty of reps during practices and games. We do offer practice player spots for players who want to develop without game expectations.

WHAT IS THE CORRECT AGE DIVISION FOR MY PLAYER?

To calculate your player's age division, click here. When a player is among the youngest in his grade level (i.e. has a birthday that falls between the May cutoff and September 1st), we often recommend that they play up a level to challenge them at grade level.
