SEASON INFO
Parents: Our goal is to develop a program that provides a competitive environment while giving the players the opportunity for development. LittleCanes is a great start, and our goal is to provide as much game time play as possible. The plan is to have 10 players on the team, per league rules.
Other Important Dates:
- 10/8- Tryouts. The plan is to let players know at tryouts if they made the team. We will officially post on or before 10/14 and start registration.
- 10/14 - Registration Payment Due
- 10/15- Practices begin (a full pre-season practice schedule will be available in our TeamSnap app.)
- 11/11 or 11/18 - Estimated date of games beginning. Games are on Saturdays
Practice Schedule:
Practice starts on October 8th. Our plan is to have practice 1-2 times per week as a team and gym space allows. Currently, that day is Tuesday. Times could be anywhere between 4:30-7p, but currently we have planned from 6-7p. Feedback we received last year was to have more practices. While that will drive the cost up, we will do our best to add additional practice times for the players to develop..
Gym location: Hampton Heights Baptist Church Gym (2511 Wade Hampton Blvd, Greenville, SC 29615)
Game Schedule:
Games are each Saturday, except for holiday weekends (Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year) and will be at various church gyms. Games usually start on Nov 11 and end with the post-season tournament on Feb 1st, 8th, or 15th. We do not receive the official schedule until closer to November, but if you are trying out, you should plan to be at all games.
