Tournament Weekend Tentative Schedule

While reviewing, the rough draft keep in mind that this is the first iteration of the weekend schedule. As such, it is likely that items on the schedule may be adjusted.

Closer to the tournament weekend, a full packet to include a comprehensive schedule and other logistical information will be distributed.

Additionally, there will be ongoing communication via the team’s group chat developed and provided to the athletes parents where changes and updates will also be distributed.

Thursday – Check-In (Optional, but Strongly Recommended)
