1. When is Girls Rippers season?
2. What is the cost?
3. Why don’t you do class-based teams for HS?
4. Will this make a difference for my daughter's recruitment?
a. No, if your player is putting in the work, it does not affect recruiting. It is up to the athlete to put in the work including identifying the right fit of schools and communicating with those coaches.
5. Why do you travel as a team?
a. It helps promote team unity and chemistry. It also promotes life lessons and growth off the field. It helps reduce costs and relieve travel conflicts for parents.
We do not chaperone for the Academy age
6. You travel as a team, but flights are not included? How does that work?
a. To allow flexibility but still offer chaperoning, we block team flights much like a room block at a hotel. This allows all players the opportunity to be on the same flight as coaches. It also gives parents the options of booking vacations or college visits on the back or front end of tournaments, if parents are attending.
7. Are tournaments mandatory?
8. Who will coach my daughter's team?
a. Due to OGLA following OSAA rules we are going to wait to assign coaches until after rosters are completed. We have an AWESOME coaching staff, and most teams will have two coaches assigned only to their team.
9. Why is the Academy the only option for my daughter's age?
a. The academy is an initiative to help with growth in our younger age groups. This model aligns better with US Lacrosse and allows for maximum development at younger ages. It still allows for players interested in tournaments to opt in while developing the future of Oregon girl’s lacrosse.
10. How many players are usually on a team?
11. I want more lacrosse; can I play on multiple club teams?
We are looking to add additional individual development during the summer on Wednesday nights for Travel Teams. Academy players receive individual, and team develop due to the practice design.
