3. How long is the season, and what kind of time commitment is there?

The season can be summerized as a “short blitz”. Tryouts begin the first week after frosh week, and the team is chosen after the first week. From then on, one can expect to travel away for tournaments every other week, until the middle of October where the season ends after the National University tournament. There will be at least two practices a week, and possible other time commitments involving strategy discussions or fitness training. The friends you make during the season will continue throughout the school year.
