Eligibility: Please go to PAGES -> ELIGIBILITY for more information.
Ages: Grades 5-8. Fourth graders may be able to play per coach discretion. Fourth graders may also be able to join as "practice players" for $100. They would join practices, could attend games and may get time but would not be prioritized like regular rostered players. This option gives them a chance to be part of the team before they are quite ready, gain some skills, and see if they enjoy the sport.
Schedule: 3x weekly commitment. Eight-ten games and a season end tournament for our small league that takes place on May 18. (One game follows this tournament.)
Location: Home games and practices are held at Bennett Park in Whitmore Lake. Away games are held in Lansing, Canton, Plymouth and Saline. Our team participates in a newly formed small league comprised of Washtenaw Christian Academy, Ivywood and Homeschool United.
Coach: Mary Recznik
Playtime: This level is developmental and all players will get meaningful time. More skilled players may be left in the game longer to help keep teams in games or support weaker players.
Parent Involvement: All parents are expected to contribute to the season by helping with some of our season jobs. Parent jobs may include things like helping with our Panther Spirit Night, end of season party or banquet, uniforms, tournament, concessions or coach gift collection.
End-of-Season Celebration: The season finishes with a year-end party. Please check out the online calendar for our full schedule. As of 11-30, our spring season schedule is still being built but the calendar should give a good idea what to expect. The schedule is always subject to time tweaks, cancellations and other changes.
