- Must have not have any lower than a "S" Satisfactory average behavior in classes.
- Starting October 17th, excused absences will be allowed from practice. If you are absent from practice 3+ times you will be benched for one game. However, you must still attend the game and show support to the team. If you were sick and did not show up to school, that does not count as an absent from practice. And/or if you went home early from school because you were ill. If you were in school in good health you need to show up to practice.
- Make sure to wear comfortable shoes and clothes. Depending on how many girls show up, the plan is to have a 7th/8th grade team and a 5th/6th grade team. We will need at least 7 players to have a complete team.
Please feel free to ask if you have any questions.
