Grades 2-4 will practice on one of our developmental teams (in either Easton or Redding as appropriate) and will likely have 6 games during the season (Easton and Redding players will combine for these games).
Grades 5-8: once players are assessed, they will be assigned to teams (Redding/Easton combined). Grades 5/6 will practice together and same for 7/8. There will likely be 3 teams for 5/6 and 3 teams for 7/8. On occasion, a player may be asked to compete on more than one team in a weekend, if approved by the player’s parent(s). Practices will be at JBHS.
All teams will practice 2 times per week, with games on Saturday (away only) and/or Sunday (home or away). If only 1 game is scheduled for the weekend and it happens to be on a Saturday (away game), we will take advantage of the Sunday turf time and run a practice. Most Sunday home games or practices will be between 12-6 at the Barlow Turf.
As soon as we have practice days and times for all teams, we will notify you.
We will have pre-season clinics at the end of August before school begins. You will receive more information on this as soon as we are granted turf time. Practices will begin last week of August and the season will run until the first week of November.
Equipment needed:
Players will need a uniform of reversible jersey and black shorts or skorts. Jerseys have to be ordered directly from Tiger Sports using this link: www.catoonahink.com/REFH23
The deadline for all orders of reversible jerseys is July 28th
If you have a reversible jersey from last season and it still fits you do not need to order a new uniform
Players are also required to have yellow/gold socks or shin guard covers. We recommend the STX Shin Guard Sock Color: Gold

You can google this item and find it sold by many distributors. Please order NOW, as these will sell out as we get closer to the season:
Mouthguard (please purchase 2 and keep one as a back-up). Shin guards, stick (we can loan if necessary). If you are unsure regarding sizing, PLEASE ask a coach before purchasing. I cannot tell you the number of sticks we see each season that are WAY TOO LONG!!!!
If you are in the market for a stick and prefer to buy locally, we do recommend going to ASF Sports in Westport. They have a good selection of sticks that are better quality than the ones sold at Dick’s and the staff will know more about proper sizing. If you are absolutely sure of your size and prefer ordering online, we recommend these 2 sites:
www.longstreth.com
www.hfssport.com
Please register ASAP!!! It is essential for planning purposes!!!!
