Please Note: If you do not see your name listed, it is because we are missing one or more of your registration materials. We will continue to update the practice groups as registration materials are received. In addition, the coaching staff will make adjustments to the practice groups during the first couple weeks of practice as athletes' skill levels are evaluated.

The table below contains information on days, times, locations and a brief description of each practice group. The coaches will place each athlete into one of the practice groups based on, but not limited to, the following criteria: an athlete's age, ability level, experience, and longevity with our Club. For questions regarding practice groups, please email Coach Barnea (email).
