Bridges FAQ

Will Players Be Cut?

We will create as many teams as our resources allow, striving to avoid cuts. Instead players will be sorted for skill development purposes. However, participation may be restricted due to behavioural or reputational concerns.

How Long is the Season?

Each team will participate in different Tournaments and/or Leagues so the timeframe can vary. Traditionally Spring/Summer programming lasts from March - June.

How Much are Fees?

Fees will also vary between teams however we aim to keep them minimal. We can provide pathways for grant applications if requested.

What if I Can't Attend Tryouts?

Please contact us as soon as possible to notify of your intent to play.

What Should I Bring?

Bring proper attire, be on time, and be ready to work hard! A water bottle is always a must.
