Practice Groups & Schedule

2010 SUMMER SESSION PRACTICE GROUP ASSIGNMENTS
Due to the number of athletes and the level of tournament play in the summer session, athletes must practice with their assigned group.

Please Note: There may be some changes to practice group assignments during the first two weeks of the session while coaches assess the athletes and their placement in each of the practice groups.

The division between the Age Groups and High School Groups will be based on birth date. Players born on July 31, 1995 and later will be assigned to one of the Age Groups: AG 1, AG 2, or Jr. Polo, while players born between August 1, 1995 - July 30, 1991 will be assigned to one of the three High School groups: HS 1A, HS 1B, or HS 2.

If you still have questions regarding practice group assignments, please e-mail Coach Barnea (email).
If you do not see your name listed it is because we are still missing one or more of your registration documents. No athlete will be allowed to practice until all registration materials have been successfully processed. To find out what registration documents you are missing please email Dawn at your convenience (email).
