Our Fall season is a competitive high school season and involves league matches and various tournaments in Oregon and California. Most of our games are away games so most weekends do involve travel (typically done be team van or parent/coach carpools). Our team is a no-cut team and all experience levels are welcome for students in grade 9-12. Additionally, if a student attends a high school other than Ashland High School, they are still encouraged to reach out to our club as we do have the ability to include players from other local high schools.
GAMES & TOURNAMENTS
Most of the travel for games and tournaments takes place during the fall season.Â
