In late April all registered players will be placed on “Exhibition Game Teams”. This will be based on what we learn about the players past ball hockey experience and level of play. Our goal is to balance the teams, The Spring season will begin in late April/early May and run until late June. At the beginning of the season teams will play an exhibition where we will help ensure everyone has the proper equipment and evaluate each players skill level. We will use this information to help balance the teams. That means some players will change teams after the Exhibition game. Please prepare your players for this and help us make this process efficient. If your player is switched to another team it is because we think this will help the league for all players. All players must agree to cooperate with the balancing process and we thank you.
Based on what we learn, we will do our best to form balanced teams. Team lists will then be posted on the website. within 72 hours of the Exhibition Game. The regular season will start soon after teams are posted!
The season will begin after 15 April depending on when we can access our facilities. We anticipate playing 13 sessions over a 9 week season. One game on either Saturday or Sunday morning along with a few games on a weeknight. The younger age groups will generally play the earliest time slot and we will ty to keep the time of games consistent to allow parents to plan. Note that this is not always possible.
Please give some thought to joining us as a coach . I promise the work load will be reasonable and you will have a ton of fun. In some cases our coaches become the very first coach a child has ever had! Appreciating that, a positive experience with our Ball Hockey League can turn a child on to a lifetime love of sport and that is both important and pretty darn cool!
A coaching clinic will be staged to help ensure all coaches are comfortable with fundamental of coaching and how we expect the league to run. After the clinic we will provide our coaches ongoing support whenever needed. Our intent is to have 2-3 coaches per team so that if a coach cannot attend a game to ensure every team is covered in the event a coach cannot attend a game.
