Welcome to the Fall, 2023 Season!
Practices Start: This week, 8/21
Where: River City Sportsplex (Fields 10+11)
Fields 10+11 are in the back. Be sure to follow signs. Do not park in the first parking lot next to fields 1-9. Be sure to continue all the way to the back parking lot.
Check-in: Check-in with me (Nick Serfass) at the Welcome Tent between fields 10+11.
How early: Be sure to arrive in enough time for your player to be dressed and ready at the appointed start time. This is generally 15-mins before practice begins. For Boys 1/2, this means 25 mins beforehand … because … Boys 1/2.
Coaches will be on-hand to help with equipment for new players and new parents. Don’t stress! We have you covered.
Should I stay?: You are free to leave as you see fit. Boys 1/2 parents are encouraged to stay, at least until your player is comfortable and proficient at putting on and taking off his gear during bathroom breaks.
Where to watch: Anywhere but on the field unless you are wearing a helmet. Those helmets are for stray balls as much as they are for player contact.
T-Shirts: All players will receive a performance shooter t-shirt at check-in the first week.
Uniforms: A batch of uniforms are being shipped directly to your mailing address this week for those that ordered early in the summer. The rest will arrive before the first games on 9/9. Uniforms from previous seasons may be used. We try not to change them so that they can be recycled. If you don’t have a uniform, a white or royal blue t-shirt will do.
Team Assignments: The first week of practice is purely for evaluations. All players will be assigned to teams after the first week of practices – 8/27. Teams are designed for parity with relatively equal amounts of new, experienced, and travel players. We do not accept team or coach requests.
Games: Game schedules will be uploaded for all teams by 9/1.
Tournament: Boys will play a tournament on 10/21 at River City Sportsplex and Mary Stratton Park. Girls will not play a tournament but continue to have intersquad scrimmages at Horner Park on 10/21.
