Boys Details The season will begin
with the SKILLS, DRILLS and PLAY program.
This will be put on by coaches of Edina High
School teams. There will be a series of one
hour sessions where athletes will be given
an opportunity to develop and improve on all
the fundamentals of the game while working
with an instructor and then put those skills
to use during supervised play.
Efforts will be made
to balance the teams according to the skill
levels of the players. In grades 3 and 4,
teams are typically selected based on
schools with careful attention to balance.
“Play with Requests” will be honored in
grades 3 & 4 for no more than one player as
long as both players make the request. Team
balance and equity may supersede "play with
requests". Parents coaching will always have
their children playing together with them.
The season starts late November and ends in
early March. Throughout the year, each
player will have approximately 20 events
(games, practices, clinics).
