PLAYING TIME: Playing time must be earned and is not guaranteed. At events, coaches do their best to play all players, but game situation can often dictate otherwise. Practice reps, however, are equally distributed in our effort to develop all players.
TRAVEL: Players are responsible for their own accommodations (flights, hotel, meals, and transportation).
