Special Notes To Parents

• Every attempt will be made to get your daughter competitive playing time. However there my be times when your daughter may not play in all situations. this will be especially true during tournament play.
• Parents and non-players are asked to not interfere with the coaching during practices and during game/scrimmage situations.
• Parents are also asked to keep clear of the bench area during practices and game/scrimmages to allow the coaches/assistants to work most efficiently.
