Objective: Our goal is to place up to eight teams this season, grades 5 - 12. The number of teams we are able to place very much depends on available coaches. We are hiring for paid coaching positions for the season. Please contact us if you are interested in coaching or if you know of someone who may be a great coach. A great coach starts with a positive approach, genuine care and compassion for each athlete and the team, and values the whole person, on and off the court.

Tentative Season Dates:

Monday, December 6: Practices begin (tentative date).

January: Play events and tournaments begin.

April: Season ends.

COVID-19: Players, coaches, and spectators are expected to follow current COVID-19 guidelines as set by the MN Department of Health, Club Bison, and host facilities. Face coverings may be required depending on current exposures, transmission rates, and more. All participants are expected to align with and adjust to current COVID protection guidelines, with no exceptions. When and where face coverings are required, masks must be worn properly, including covering the mouth and nose.
