Current practice time slots; 5 – 6:15pm & 6:30 – 7:45pm.
Players have access to a third “optional” Technical Training Session each week on the day they do not practice.

At the beginning of the season players will be evaluated and place onto teams.
Teams may vary from season-to-season.
Teams play 9 games per season, we do our best to reschedule rain-outs.
T&C end-of-season tournament included.
Most Academy teams compete in our “in-house” Academy league.
In-house teams will play all their games at T&C on Saturday mornings.
Travel teams will compete in the local area (CAYSA) Academy league, this league requires considerably more travel around the Austin area.
