The first two weeks of practice are for the evaluation of each player to find the best fit for his level of participation. We spend that time observing the basic skills of each player. Most age groups will be broken into several smaller groups within the first few days to allow for better observation.  Several coaches will be observing the players during this time. Decisions as to what team he is assigned to in his age group is based on athletic ability, size, experience and desire to play. This process allows for children to play against other children with their same ability, size and experience level. It may take up to two weeks for your child to be assigned to a permanent team. After the evaluation period practices will be held every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 6:00-7:30 during the season unless your coach tells you otherwise. Practices are mandatory.  Please inform your coach if you will not be able to attend a practice.

With this procedure we can not guarantee that your child will be playing on a team with his friends and family or his favorite coaches.  Please be patient as the evaluation process takes place and if you have any questions or concerns we ask that you talk with the Head Coach working with your child.
