Hello Bridget, We'll be a 2nd year 16u team next season. 06 birth years, but will consider anyone younger who has talent and doesn't mind playing against 16u higher level competition.

We play anywhere from Sheer Madness, Lasers, Buckeye Recruitfest, showcases etc., then mix in a couple of fun ones, so I guess we play a mix of A and B. However, our main goal is to gain exposure for our young ladies, so we make showcases a priority before scheduling any non-showcase events.
