Local tournament fees – reason for these fees is to make each player commit
to the tournaments . There is a deadline placed on coaches to have rosters in
to tournament directors and the fee enables us to do that on time.
Tournament Schedules – will be posted on the web page as soon as we get them.
We have no control over when we get them or how many times they may change.
You must check the web page the day of the tournament for the most up to date
schedule. ALL players should be at tournaments 45 minutes before first
