SKILLS PRACTICE
Skills Day for all ages and practice locations will be held at Castle Rock Park.
Skills Day will take between 45 minutes to an hour, depending on how many athletes come. Skills Day will be a series of skills and drills to allow us to evaluate each player. This will allow us to try to make the teams as even as we can. Please do your best to attend the skills day so we can do our best to make sure the teams are even and the season is fun and competitive for everyone.
