We have had record interest so far on our contact info sign up form.  We still are finalizing locations for Sunday gym space between UWF, Washington High School and East Hill Christian to try an accommodate everyone.  Please be patient with us as we finalize the logistics and try to keep locations and times as consistent as possible.

All of the current program details are shown below.   If you would like to commit to the program, please complete the 3 steps to register using the links above.

Here are the details of the 2023 Grassroots program for Session 1 outlined below:

2023 Schedule:
1 Weeknight practice (choice between Tuesday @ Hillcrest Baptist Church or Wednesday @ East Hill Christian School) and 1 Sunday practice (current plan to be hosted at UWF with possible changes at Washington High or East Hill Christian.)

All Sunday locations will be finalized before January 6th.  

Tuesdays:      10 & Under: 4:00pm – 5:00pm

11s & 12s:  5:00pm – 6:00pm

(Times/Ages may be adjusted to better fit numbers / ages attending this practice.)

OR

Wednesdays:  9 & under & 9’s       5:30 – 6:30pm

10’s & 11’s               6:30 – 7:30pm

12’s                          7:30 – 8:30pm

AND

Sundays:        8’s & 9’s     – 12:30 – 2:00pm

10’s & 11’s   – 2:00 – 3:30pm

These are anticipated times and may shift slightly to accommodate numbers.  Weeknight practices will not go beyond 8:30pm.  Sunday practices should not start before noon. Additional facilities may be added.

**Also note, tournaments start in waves.  If your child’s team draws the late wave (starting at 6pm), they may be playing until possibly 8:30pm on Sunday night.  This happened frequently last season for the 11’s and 12s.

First Practice – Sunday @ UWF – Health Leisures & Sports Building (Bldg. 72)

Whew! This is a LOT of info.  Please read through carefully.  If you have any questions, I am happy to help.  Please feel free to contact me via email or cell phone.  I am a school teacher and usually cannot answer the phone during the school day, but can text or call back on planning periods.

Go Waves!
