Players will be evaluated during these practices. At the end practice on November 22nd, players will be given a letter that will let them know if they have made the team. Those players that made the team will be expected to be at practice on November 25th at 5:00pm-7:00pm
However, playing time must be earned throughout the season. Players are not guaranteed playing time just because they have made the team.
Practice and Game Schedule:
Players that make the team are required to be at practice. All practices are mandatory unless excused by the coach prior to practice. Practices will be held after school from 2:50pm-5:00pm or from 5:00pm-7:00pm.
Note- there will be practices over Thanksgiving and Christmas break. Please carefully look over the schedule your daughter will get from her coaches.
Parents will need to provide transportation for players for the evening practices. If you make the team, please make sure you can keep your commitment to the coaches and your teammates.
