Sherwood Ultrasport
This year the league has rented space at Sherwood Ultrasports on Route 6 in Seekonk every Thursday from January 7th through April 15th. All programs in grades 3 & up will have some time indoors to dust off their sticks and have some fun.
The space is being utilized to run basic skill/drills clinics, run competitive and travel team tryouts as well as coaching clinics. All 11 divisions (boys & girls, house, recreation, travel & competitive) will get some time on the turf. Team placement is the first priority and those assessments will take place between January 14th and February 21st. We will then schedule general practice and clinics. Check the Upcoming Events on our home page.
Details regarding the tryout dates will be sent to the grade appropriate players shortly.
