North City 2013 Plans
Like 2012, our season will begin the Monday after the WIAA State Championships conclude, which is March 4th. When we get closer to the month of March, we will develop a more formal schedule so parents understand the tournaments and/or leagues that we will play in. Last year, our season ran from early March and concluded in early August. In the next month or so, we will also share costs and coaches. We are targeting a similar cost as we had last year.
We will again try to target practices in the south Snohomish and north King County areas. Last year we practice in Mill Creek and Shoreline, and we are exploring some Eastside gyms at this time as well.
Sgt. Mike Lawson to Lead Training Again
I am happy to announce that Sgt. Mike Lawson (www.coachmiketraining.com) will be leading our core strength and training efforts again this season. As we grow in size, we will continue to hire the best trainers and coaches possible to ensure your child receives the best and innovative training in the area. And a big congrats to Coach Lawson as he was named “Best in Western Washington” for a 2nd straight year for Best Adult Boot Camp in the area.
Our plan, as of 12/26/12, we are expecting to field the following teams;
17U – 2014 Graduating Class (2 teams planned)
16U – 2015 Graduating Class
15U – 2016 Graduating Class
14U – 2017 Graduating Class (2 teams planned)
13U – 2018 Graduating Class
Note: We could easily add additional teams at more grades if we get enough interest. Our focus in the past has primarily been late middle school and high school kids but we will adjust according to the level of interest we receive.
Please email northcityaau at gmail.com if you are interested in being added to our mailing list as we develop more information about the upcoming season.
Thanks. Good luck to all players that are playing either on their high school teams or their local feeder/select programs.
