When players come together for winter training, we come together as a team.
We're connecting, building culture, boosting our skills and game IQ, and bringing a BUY-IN mindset.
Because we only have 8 weeks together, we really ask for hunger and focus from players who come out.
If you're a younger player, come hungry to learn from our experienced players. If you're an experienced player, come hungry to lead and lift up those around you.
Our winter culminates with all groups participating in a tournament in March.
*Note to our HS Gx players: 100% acceptable to train with Orcas and play with another team at ECC!
We have to wait until late Nov/early Dec to lock in our reservations, however we expect them to be similar to previous years.
In January, when the weather is cold and wet, we have rented the Spartan Rec Center gym in Shoreline for practice. It is about 3 blocks from the link light rail. That has been Saturday mornings for 1.5-2 hours (there is a chance this could be Sunday mornings).
In February, we will practice outside. This will be Sunday mornings for 2 hours. In the past have used Roosevelt HS, Bobby Morris, Nathan Hale HS, Franklin HS, Montlake playfield, Kellogg MS.
We are finalizing our coaching crew in the coming weeks - check back soon for bios!
DiscNW organizes a club tournament for MS and HS in early March.
We plan on applying for a spot for all three of our groups. *Note to our HS Gx players: 100% acceptable to train with Orcas and play with another team at ECC!
ECC is super fun!
The cost of winter training is $295. This goes toward field rentals, jerseys, food, and coach stipends.
Financial aid is availabe and we have met every request for financial assistance that we have received!
