The Summer Schedule for all teams will include 3-4 Days/Week:

* DRIVE Development Training Centre (Led by Pasha Bains, Chad Clifford)

The purpose of the training center is to further develop our individual & team skills as well as further prepare us for the Spring/Summer Exhibition and Tournament schedule. Our goal is to have the best training and competition to improve individually and as a group.

Like last season, we will be adjusting our age groups to allow for those born after Sept.1st to play "down" in age groups. This will be a group decision between the coaches, parents and players.

This Elite Season DRIVE will also be having Recreational Teams for each age division. Players that are not selected to the Elite Training roster will train at the Development Training Center. The recreational teams will also get game competition in the form of playing other recreational teams from different organizations.
