BACK TO THE FUNDAMENTALS... includes fees.
we realize the last year has been hard on most families. to get back to the fundamentals, we're cutting out pricey gear which drives up costs for players and families. Instead, we'll focus our resources on developing the players and making sure everyone has a positive learning experience.
Participation is by invitation or tryout. Those selected will be responsible for paying a $350 PARTICIPATION FEE. Payment of this fee reserves your roster spot, provides use of uniform, coach stipends, gym rentals, equipment, tourney entry fees (5-6 tourneys – each with a three game guarantee), organizational membership, insurance and other expenses. The budgets established for your child’s team rely on everyone paying their fees. Since refund of a fee would mean cuts to practices, coaching or tourney entries, no part of this fee is refundable once paid.

TournamentsWhen Are Games?
Tourneys are typically held on weekends (Fri-Sun). Many of these tourneys conclude on Saturday. Where Sunday games are necessary, we request that tournament organizers not schedule our teams until after 1:00PM. You will get to play 5-6 tournaments. When Do We Get The Game Schedule? Due to the fluid nature of local tourneys, scheduling is often done in the 2-3 weeks leading up to an event. Coaches will communicate upcoming events as soon as they are confirmed. Actual game schedules are rarely available more than 24-48 hours before the tourney begins. Where Do We Play? Most, if not all, tournaments will be in Knoxville or a surrounding county. Participants are responsible for their own transportation. When Is Our Season? Most teams will begin tourney play during the first couple of weeks of March and will conclude no later than the first weekend of June. |
