  • How is playing time determined?

    There are many variables that go into playing time. For the younger teams and non-tournament teams, we try to evenly distribute playing time, however there may be factors like close-scoring games, behavior, and practice time that may be considered. For tournament teams, it relies heavily on ability, work ethic, practice time, etc. Feel free to talk to a coach if you have any questions or concerns.
