It is a program intended for those players who show an affinity for the game, and a desire to train for and play at a more competitive level commensurate with their ability, potential, and interest, by emphasizing sportsmanship, teamwork and character development.
AGE GROUPS
As a small community we are limited in our ability to field all ages of both genders each year. Team availability is determined by interest by players, coach availability, and number of other teams in the HDSL. To find out if there is a team for your age group, please contact our Administrator.
REP INDOOR
This program aims to keep skills and team development tuned during the winter months. Please note, participation in indoor does guarantee a spot on the team the following outdoor season, and participation is not required to be on next years team however it is helpful. Contact your coach for more details, or Club Administrator if you are not already on a team.
