Instructional League Play for Middle Scoolers and High Schoolers Winter and Summer only
The philosophy behind "instructional league play" is to continue emphasizing the teaching of girls' basic skills and understanding of the game with proper instruction and drills, before, during, and after the games, as opposed to just open/free play.
The instruction will focus on a drill and/or concept that will be utilized in the game. The play will be 6 v. 6 with a goalie.
League play starts January 2nd and runs for 12 weeks. The cost is $250 per player.
Teams can be formed independently with a volunteer team manager, or individuals may sign up to be placed onto a house team.
