2026 Team Packet
Everything families need to know about expectations, communication, and how we operate.
Season Structure
The team holds two practices per week and typically plays one to two games per week during the season. Days and times vary — all scheduling is posted in the GameChanger app. We may also participate in local tournaments, though that's still to be determined.
Communication
All schedule updates, practice times, and game logistics are managed through the GameChanger app. Families should download the app and join the team. Coaching staff will respond the same day when possible.

Parent Expectations & Dugout Conduct
Parent conduct is non-negotiable. There is zero tolerance for negative reinforcement or disrespectful behavior during games or practices.
- Encourage players positively — all players, not just your own.

Player Development & Positions
Players will learn and play all positions throughout the season. Certain positions may be emphasized based on individual development needs. Playing time emphasizes development, effort, attitude, and team needs. Roles may evolve throughout the season.
Uniform & Equipment
Players are expected to wear the correct team uniform for games and maintain all equipment in safe, proper condition. Coaches may remove unsafe or inappropriate equipment from use.
