Team Sizes
There is no set number for each team. Placement will be based on tryout scores and what is needed on each level.
Team placement is at the discretion of the coaching staff and needs for each team. I do not and will not share any scoring information but am happy to answer any questions on how you can improve for next year. I will only respond to athlete inquiries regarding how they can improve.
Parent demands and accusatory statements regarding team placement WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!
Will be posted soon!
Times are an estimate and we will continue through on a rolling schedule. Please plan to be checked in outside the practice gym at least 15 minutes before your estimated time slot.
If you miss your slot you will be added to the end once everyone else has gone.
There will be 2 panels rolled out in front of the gym to warm up on. You may arrive as early as you would like to practice outside.
