Next Steps Entering Dead Period

As the first week of open practices concluded on Thursday, I couldn't be more excited for the upcoming fall season. Throughout the week, I witnessed players with high energy, pushing themselves to improve, and players supporting each other. These core pieces will be essential to maintain when we hit the ground running in July. 

So, what are the next steps for our program? First, we will not meet or practice again until Monday, July 11. Our current plans are to host open practices throughout the week of July 11 (M-T-W-Th-F) from 9:00-11:00AM. Note, these dates and times are subject to change. You will be notified well in advance of any changes. Open practices are again voluntary and are open to any girl interested in trying out for the team. Official team tryouts will begin on Monday, July 18; these practice sessions will be mandatory for girls wanting to join the team.

To summarize our next steps, players and parents should follow this list of links and action steps.
