No player is guaranteed playing time; however, we do like to play a lot of players. Coaches reserve the right to not play kids for character or attitude issues. Although, it does cost money to enter the tournaments, you are not paying for them to play in the games. You are paying for the practices and the experience of being a part of our program. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO US THAT YOUR SON ATTEND PRACTICES. IN MANY WAYS THE PRACTICES ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE GAMES. THEY ARE LEARNING THINGS THEY WILL NEED TO EXECUTE IN THE GAME!!! It is frustrating to the coaches, when a player does not know what he is supposed to do because he has not been at practice. The players can earn their playing time by doing well in practice, which includes…

-Showing Great Character and Attitude -Playing Hard

-Playing Smart -Playing Together

-Performing Well -Being a great teammate

We may have to make some cuts depending on how many try out.

The following fees must be paid if you are selected to be a part of our program…

Fall Stampede Membership Fee $150

New Game Uniform - $125

Players must wear a black and white reversible jersey to practice. If you don’t have one, you can purchase it for $25. We will wear our Stampede AAU game uniforms to games.

· Stampede Membership fee is due no later than August 18th. Uniform orders also have to be in by August 18th. There is a long turnaround time on custom game uniforms.
