TEAMS:
The program creates balanced teams at each grade level. We DO NOT have an A or B team. We are a developmental program where we make all the teams equal in ability. We do not look at schools or neighborhoods to determine the teams. At each age level, the girls practice together so there are no carpool issues. The teams will be determined by mid-March. We need a couple of practices to see where each kid is at.
PRACTICES: (Starting after April 1 OUTDOORS) Generally two times a week. Each age level practices together as one big group with all the coaches. For example, 3rd/4th grade will all practice together on two days a week. They typically will break into stations and rotate through the stations during practice on one day and scrimmage and do team practice on the other day. Therefore, even if your daughter is not on a team with her friends, she will be practicing each week with them.
GAMES: They take place on Sundays for 8 weeks in the spring, starting on April 3rd. We do not have games on Easter or Memorial Day weekend. They will have to travel to games with other area towns. There will be a game on the 2nd Sunday for April Vacation, April 23rd. The league is also looking to have an optional event on April 16th for those players who are around on the first weekend of school vacation. Below is the schedule:
