Philosophy Coaches Players Practices are for coaches and games are for players to perform. Our job as coaches is to provide players with the tools to make decisions on the field that fit within our system. Players Heads held high on the field and off. We will work harder than any team we face and when we leave the field we will know that we all did everything we could to help our team and the program.

All teams practice at T.J. Will there be cuts? We hope to avoid cuts but sometimes numbers dictate we make cuts. When will you know if cuts need to be made? We should have an idea after the first day of practice.

FAQ’s How do I letter? What is a JV2 team? A permanent member of the Varsity team will receive their letter. JV members that participate in an occasional tournament/game will not receive a letter. What is a JV2 team? The JV2 team replaces the freshman team. It gives us more flexibility with the roster.
