OVERVIEW

The Girls 12U Program is a hybrid travel team program that encourages girls of all skill levels, from beginners to advanced.

• The Edina Girls 12U program is a spring/summer program which runs 17 weeks.
• It is expected that girls will arrive at PRACTICES 10 minutes prior to the start of each practice and be ready to play (goggles on, sticks ready, mouth guards in) at the start of practice.
