PROWLERS ANNOUNCE DATES FOR
2008 SUMMER SESSIONS AND TRYOUTS

Prowler Hockey is proud to once again be holding its summer sessions for all players that are going into 7th-12th grade in 2008-2009 and live in the Pickerington, Reynoldsburg, Pataskala, Canal Winchester and Groveport areas. This provides a great opportunity for players and coaches to get to know each other prior to tryouts and to help players get in shape and develop skills for the upcoming season.

This year we will be splitting the sessions for upperclassmen and underclassmen. All Seniors (12th) and Juniors (11th) will participate in one set of sessions. All Sophomores (10th), Freshmen (9th), 8th and 7th graders will skate in another set of sessions. Players will be evaluated at their first session and then split between the two sessions accordingly (Any player 12th through 7th may be asked to skate in a different session than their grade based on skill level). The Upperclassmen sessions will focus on conditioning and more advanced drills while the Underclassmen session will focus on core drills and skill development.

Tryouts will then be held in mid August for both the Varsity and JV teams.
