Mini’s and Junior’s Schedule

Friday, April 30th, 2010

The mini’s and junior’s schedule has been posted by the AJRA.  You can find the webpage here.

First games for MINI’S are scheduled for Saturday, May 1st, 2010.

Games for mini’s are festival style, so they will be pooling all of the children from each age group to make the teams — that is why there are no specific team times on the schedule, only age group times.  Please show up for the start of your age group time.

First games for junior’s (U-18) are scheduled for Wednesday, July 7th, 2010.

Games for junior’s will be team based, so once final team numbers have been determined a more detailed schedule will follow.
