Each game session will last 90 minutes with the first 30-45 minutes reserved for practice of fundamentals. There will also be incorporated scrimmages during the league.

The cost per player is $40 with each additional girl from the same family only $20 thereafter. No child will be turned away due to a lack of resources. Please email Dina Coverstone if financial assistance is needed.

The program will hold a skills test on Thursday, Sept. 6, from 6:15-7:30 p.m. at Syracuse Elementary School. Players can arrive anytime during this timeframe. Girls will go through stations to help determine their skill levels in an effort to balance teams. Once a girl has completed the stations, she can leave.
