What level of commitment is expected if I make a team?

Practices will begin the week of September 20th. Athletes will practice 2 nights per week for a total of 6 hours. Training includes both circuit training and team training. Our 13U White team will practice twice a week for a total of 5 hours.

We attempt to schedule practices for younger players between 6-8pm and between 8-10pm for the older athletes.

The season runs from September to mid May. 

Each team will play in approximately one tournament a month, largely based on the OVA schedule.

The annual fees this season will be in the range of $700-$950. In addition, each athlete will be asked to purchase $175 in raffle tickets, with proceeds from the raffle ticket sales going towards participation in a major tournament.
