PREPARE FOR THE SPRING SEASON

Lakes Juniors will be offering Extended Season Teams (EXS) for 14, 15 and 16 year old girls.  These will be highly competitive teams made up of primarily our Regional or Select team players but are open to new athletes from other clubs or girls that did not play the Regional season.   There will be a Head Coach and  Assistant Coach on each team.  We will have approximately 8 or 9 tournament dates (mainly two day, high level tournaments).  Tryouts (no charge) will be Wednesday March 20th, 5:30-7:30 pm at Faith Christian School Gym (link in the Lakes Calendar).  We will aim for 10 athletes on each team, maximum of 11.  

Update:  Practices will be scheduled for Monday and Wednesday evenings to avoid conflicting with school spring sports schedules as much as possible (a lot of school sports have games on Tue/Thu).  Practices will start April 1st  and will be 5:30-7:30 pm through April 10th.  Starting April 15th practices will be 6:30-8:30 pm at Lake Geneva Youth Camp Gym.
