SEASON INFORMATION

• All teams will run from the week of September 11th through the weekend of November 4th/5th
• Teams will practice twice per week at our home gym, Wintrust Sports Complex
• The fall season consists of 4-5 weekend tournaments all within driving distance of Wintrust.
• Teams are offered for boys and girls, entering grades 3rd-12th (second grade boys are welcome to tryout for the 3rd grade team, unfortunately, many girls’ divisions are 3rd/4th grade for tournaments, so we will not host 2nd grade girls)
• We host teams at all skill levels and typically have more than one team at each grade level
• We highly encourage players to attend both tryout dates, but one is sufficient and will not affect your child’s team placement

• All Swarm coaches are background checked and have completed Abuse Prevention Training prior to coaching
