Student Fee = $30 

 

Important information: 

• Matches will be after school on Mondays. We don’t have an official schedule yet, as the coaches’ meeting hasn’t taken place, but I’ll share the official schedule with you as soon as it’s finalized.
• Matches will start as soon as possible after school, usually between 4:30 and 5:00 p.m. The exact time depends on the match location and the school competing. 
• The Governor's Cup competition will be in January for composition, quick recall, and written assessment. The fee for the governor's cup is $450. The student fee of $30 covers this admission fee, and fundraising will help us collect the remainder. More information on the Governor’s Cup can be found at
• https://kaac.com/governors-cup/
• We will sell chocolate during the season to fundraise; if anyone has other fundraising ideas, please let me know. 
• Team shirts: We always hope to obtain shirts, but it depends on our fundraising efforts and team size. I am open to ideas for purchasing t-shirts and exploring fundraising opportunities. 
• This year, practices will be held on Monday, Thursday, and Friday mornings from 7:45 to 8:40 a.m. The first practice will be held on September 15, 2025.
• We will need parent volunteers to help proctor and judge each home match and the Governor’s Cup competition. Please consider volunteering; it makes things run so much more smoothly. If you are interested, please let me know, and I will send you details about the responsibilities and training requirements.  (Training is a Google Slides presentation and quiz on KAAC’s website.) I am only one person, so the more volunteers we have, the smoother the season will be for us and the students. Thank you for your consideration.
