(updated January 19, 2012)
ALL PLAYERS are to report to the first day of tryouts/practice on Monday, February 27th at Players Indoor facility (1740 Quincy Avenue) in Naperville near the intersection of Ogden and Quincy Avenues. Varsity tryouts will start at 8:00 PM sharp, so please be at Players 20 minutes early to get your gear on and ready to take the field at 8:00 pm. We will be off the field at 10:00 pm.
Those not trying out for Varsity will practice from 9:00 to 10:00 pm at Players Indoor.
Make sure you have all your gear (helmet, gloves, pads, cup, mouth guard). Players Indoor DOES NOT ALLOW CLEATS on their turf, so turf shoes or tennis shoes need to be worn for indoor practices. Returning players should bring their practice penny from last season. New / replacement pennies will be given out on the first day of practice / tryouts.
During the week of Feb 27th, Varsity head coach Tim Hurst will be letting players know if they have made the initial varsity team or not.
