Attached below is your preseason practice schedule. I did my best to meet requests. If you got a night or a time that doesn't work for your schedule, please work with the other coaches to exchange your practice slot. Please contact your player agent for other managers' emails and contact information.
Also fields are available this Sunday (January 29) if you would like to schedule a time to have a team meeting and begin to work out the girls. Please keep in mind, there are to be NO SCRIMMAGES until after completing two of your "scheduled" practices.
Also game schedules are built and I'm working on putting them into a spreadsheet format. Next week, after the board approves the schedule, I'll start entering games on to your team page on the website. Please wait to receive an email from Carrie or Jerry before contacting me with any schedule questions.
I've also built the brackets for the end of the year tournament, which will be a double-elimination tournament with a third-place game for the losers of the semifinals. We will also have a consolation game final for the teams who lose their first-round game.
As always continue to monitor the website daily for changes and updates.

OCASA Parents
If your child missed the re-scheduled tryouts and you signed them up on time, your child will be placed on a team. We will be working all day on Saturday to build the spring teams. We have asked manager to contact their players within 24 hours after the conclusion of their draft.
If you missed the on-line registration and the four in-person sign-ups, please email the player agent for the division. If you want to know where to get the emails they are listed under the Director heading. Please keep in mind we have very few open slots for late sign-ups. There is a lot planning that goes into pulling off a season for the girls.
Just a reminder that refunds are only available before your child goes through the evaluation process. Once the child goes through her evaluation, refunds are no longer granted. For 6U refunds can be requested up until January 29th.
To get a refund, please start by contacting the director of registration Marcy Gutierrez. Emails are listed under Directors.
ASA will be holding a manger's clinic on Sunday, March 11th for managers and coaches. The cost is $25, which included lunch. The location is to be TBD, but it is suggested that you register in advance for the clinic.
We have rescheduled evaluations for Tuesday and Wednesday evening as follows. We will do our best to get your children through the process as quickly as possible, but we greatly appreciate your patience and understanding, and your help if you are able:
