Skills Assessment

All Advanced Recreational players will go through a pre-season skills assessment. This is not a tryout, all players will be placed on a team. The skills assessment will assist us in making well balanced teams in an effort to give all players a similar playing experience.  No one will get cut, this is just to ensure fair teams. More information on the day/time of Skills Assessment will be sent out in the coming weeks. Your player should have at least 1 year of recreational league experience before joining this league.

Fall Skills Assessment: September 14th at Tanana Valley Middle School 

U10 Advanced Rec: 1:00PM- 2:00PM
