Game schedules:
Team schedules will be made available approximately the 3rd week of practice. Most games are played on Saturdays. However, teams may play week night games.
Practices:
Practices will start August 2rd . Practices will be held at T.C Martin Elementary school 6315 Olivers Shop Rd, Bryantown. The first night of practice the entire organization will gather for a few minutes to discuss the upcoming season. Practices in the month of August are Monday thru Friday from 6PM to 8PM. First night of practice will be held in shorts, shirts and cleats. Your respective coaches will provide further guidance on wearing equipment later in the week. Players will be evaluated the first two weeks of practice to determine placement on a Senior or Junior team if there is more than 1 team in a weight division. However, not all weight divisions will have both Senior and Junior teams; it is dependent on the number of registered players.
