Tournaments
---Teams will play in 5 Tournaments between April 9th and July 10th.

---We will try our best to schedule tournaments so that each athlete will play in at least 4
tournaments.  
Tournament weekends will be selected after the team is formed based on
athlete availability.  

---If you have a busy spring ahead of you and are worried about not making enough weekends, I
encourage you to attend tryouts and I may be able to give you a discounted rate if you can only
make 2 or 3 but still want to participate. (please contact Andrew on or before tryout day with your
concerns)

---There are different division levels for each grade & we will do our best to put each team in
challenging and competitive tournaments.  
The goal is to push all players to bring their game
to a new level!

Frequently Asked Questions
What about lodging/hotels?
Players & families will be on their own
to decide where to stay.  You may stay
with friends/relatives in the area.  
Discounted "team hotel" rates will be
available again this year.
What about playing style?
I would like to see a helping man-to-man
defense and a motion offense from each
team.  Although there may be situations
where modifications are needed.
Will I get my money back if I don't make a team or there
aren't enough players to form a team for my age?
Yes, of course.  There is no fee to tryout.  And we will try our
best to get everyone on a team, possibly by moving athletes
up if there isn't enough interest at a particular grade.
