2017/18 Team Expectations

The ECU "official" seasons are:

Fall:  Mid-August through early October

Spring: Post spring break through the conclusion of play in mid July

MYSA League play consists of 6 games in the fall and 10-12 games in the spring (half at home and half in the MYSA East District). See MYSA website for more information on playing days.  Parents on the team select tournaments; however, all teams typically play at the ECU tournament which is June 10-11.  The coach works with the team manager and parents to establish practice schedules.
