Conference outlook:
We anticipate a tough conference top to bottom in the CWC-Small again. Assumption should be well rounded and have a few players coming back from their team last fall.
Keys to your success this season:
Getting everyone up to speed and staying healthy. If we can get all 30 kids coached up and get them ready, we should have some depth to help us out at times.
Behind the scenes: Who are some of the people that help your program succeed?
We have a great support from the parents of the players. They are always asking to help out and what do we need to help the team. They run our team meals before games and if anything ever comes up, I know I can ask and they will help us out to the best they can. We are really, really fortunate to have had and continue to have great parents every year. It really helps alleviate some of those stresses on the coaches and we greatly appreciate them!
