Fall League General Information:

*I guarantee you have never seen a better league format.

*Each Team will consist of 10-12 players.

*Each Team will play 2 games per week for 6 weeks (12 games) / Each Team plays Tuesday OR Thursday AND Saturday.

*All Games are instructional which can and will be stopped to address issues.

*Parents/Coaches can hear EVERYTHING that is being taught and are encouraged help retain the information for their child via asking questions, taking notes, video taping etc…

*Specific Skill instruction will be offered on Tue and Thur either before or after your child’s game depending on his game time.

Far too often our youth team practices are focused on Skill work and Team Fundamentals take a back seat or no seat at all. Our Fall League is designed to teach the GAME and how to play it. Team Fundamentals are the focus.

Everything that we teach is the EXACT same thing that is taught at the professional level!

Come learn how to play the game and learn how to play it the right way!

Team Fundamentals Covered:
*Cuts/Relays - Double Cuts
