Parents,

I understand girls are still playing basketball, dance, dive, etc.  As always, I want to offer our team the training that top Elite Club teams are getting.  The winter training for the club teams right now is about 2 days per week with 1 scrimmage every couple weeks.

I have a schedule below.  If there is a * next to the date, then it is tentative. I am waiting for a confirmation for these dates.

Remember, these are not mandatory.  Mandatory begins with Spring Training which begins March 1st.  I understand that many of you are getting anxious to know what days we will be practicing.  Remember, I cannot determine that for sure right now.  There are two reasons for this.  First, I have to wait for the field draw which isn't for a few weeks.  Second, since we are CUSL Div 1, we get to self schedule our games.  A lot of this depends on the other teams schedules and their tournaments. Please also understand, that for me to even ask what days work best for everyone is really not even feasible.  With 15 girls, along with us having to wait for the field draw... We are going to have to take the nights we can get.

This year, we will play 1/2 of our games at home.  Our "official" field is at Pendery Park fields.  But, there is good conversation that I may get the field Saturday evenings for all our home games.  That would be great!

Beginning in March, we will have 2 weekly mandatory practices, and 1 optional.  The optional will be mostly skill training--S4.  The mandatory's are very important that everyone shows up.  These girls are getting older now, and Tactics play a HUGE role (just like running plays in basketball).  They will get more tactical training this spring season than they've gotten the last 6 years combined.  Please don't discount the skill training.  For these tactics to work, our skill has to be MUCH greater.  We learned last night at WieFit, as we focused solely on first touch and Accurate passing, that the girls really lack this...

Below are dates to mark for now in your calendar.  This is basically me being able to utilize Tower Park Field and Wiefit/S4, along with our indoor games and March tournament.

All dates below that are March 1st and after begins Spring Training.  Again, when the field draw comes out and CUSL has their self scheduling meeting, we will complete this schedule for the remainder of the season.
