Practices will be held at Premier Athletic Complex for north teams and practice times will range from 5:00pm-10:00pm Mondays through Thursdays.

Each team will have 8-10 tournaments (5 tournaments for local teams) throughout the season. 13U-18U Under Armour and Black teams will have (at least) one out-of-state tournament and attend the USAV or AAU Girls Junior National Tournament. Players will receive 2 practice shirts, 2 jerseys (1 for local), 1 sweatshirt, 1 pair of cover pants, 2 pairs of spandex, 2 pairs of socks, 1 pair of shoes (not for local), 1 back pack, and 1 bag tag. All players also have full access to our two Recruiting Coordinators (Lindsay Thompson and Ted Gilkey).

We work to create the same team and season structure each season but this description and the team list is subject to change each season.
