PRACTICES
Wednesday and Friday mornings 7-9am at the Austin Sports Center Cedar Park 1420 Toro Grande. We will always practice on Wednesday mornings, and generally on Friday mornings. A team will not practice the same day as a game or tournament. We understand that some girls will need to leave practice early to attend classes, they will need to keep their coaches informed.
MATCHES
Typically we play Tuesdays and Thursdays in the late afternoon/early evening. Occasionally, there will be a Monday or Friday match. We generally will have one match in San Antonio and a few that are about on hour away from the Cedar Park area. There will be no overnight matches or overnight tournaments.
TOURNAMENTS
We have two to three junior high tournaments during the season and one to two elementary tournaments during the season. All teams will end with the ACAA tournament at the end of October.
