Season Overview
The season typically runs from November through February or March and is composed of tournaments. We are targeting a minimum of 8-10 tournaments for each team.  The number of tournaments played will depend on your players grade/team level.  Each tournament event typically has a 4 game minimum. We expect practices to start in early November and tournaments to start in late November/early December. Teams that are invited to enter state championship tournaments will play into early March.

Players
This program is for 4th - 8th grade boys and girls players who live within the boundaries of Lakeridge High School and/or attends one of the feeder schools which are Hallinan Elementary, Palisades World Language Elementary, Westridge Elementary, River Grove Elementary and Lakeridge Middle School. 

Practices
As with prior years, we want each tournament team to have two 90-minute practices each week.  Middle school grade teams may find themselves completing practice at 9:00 PM.

Games
Tournament games will be on the weekends. Over the course of the season, players should plan on at least 8-10 full weekends of tournaments, depending on grade/team level.  Games are played on Saturdays and Sundays.  Because many of these tournaments are school fundraisers, parents and spectators should also plan to pay daily entry fees (generally $5 - 10) in order to watch the games. 

Games and tournaments are generally played in the greater Portland area and surrounding suburbs. For example, this season we expect players to be in Lake Oswego, Tigard, Tualatin, Wilsonville, Canby and Portland for tournaments in addition to other cities. Teams may also go to Seaside, which hosts popular weekend tournaments throughout the winter. If teams qualify, they may also travel to Salem and Central Oregon for state championship tournaments.

Team Placement /  Tryouts
Tryouts are generally held at the end of September or early October.

Uniforms
Players who participated in the 23/24 season may use the same uniform from last season.  Players new to the program must purchase a new uniform.  The uniform consists of a jersey, shorts and (optional) shooting shirt.
