INDOOR PRACTICES
* MONDAY PRACTICES - Held at the U of C, Red Gym, from 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
* WEDNESDAY PRACTICES - Held at the U of C Gold Gym, from 9:00 pm - 10:30 pm
* We would encourage players to attend as many indoor practices as possible.
* There are no practices on any Mondays that fall on a long weekend or during the U of C Reading Week.
* After the Christmas Break, Monday practices resume the first week of January after the New Year's weekend and run until the end of April**. The only closure is for Family Day and U of C Reading Week.
* ** Starting in mid-March, we start training / practicing outdoor skills, either in the gyms or at the Calgary West Soccer Centre. Practices sessions would be on Mondays and Wednesdays, starting at 7:00/7:30pm - 9:00/9:30pm.
* A Minimum of 8 Practices Are MANDATORY for All NEW / FAIRLY NEW INDOOR PLAYERS (for those who cannot attend on a regular basis). As indoor is quite different from outdoor, it is VERY important and STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that you attend as many practices as possible as the skills and technique required to do the skills well are somewhat different as are the rules and the game itself. Indoor is a fantastic game and will help players really improve their tight stick and passing skills as well as improve game tactics, but practice is critical to this.
