Fall 2024 Season Information

Program Overview

Our Fall program commences around the 2nd - 3rd week of September, concluding typically around the end of October/ early November. Currently, we offer programs for 7th - 8th grade girls and 5th - 8th grade boys. Tryouts are open to all players in the Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Massachusetts regions. While these are our current offerings, we are actively exploring expansion into additional programs for boys and girls in grades 4 and above, up to the Varsity Level.

​

Team Practices

The Ocean State Kraken Teams engage in weekly practice sessions lasting 1.5-2 hours. During the first half of these sessions, we emphasize individual skill development, fine-tuning, and the reinforcement of fundamental techniques for each player. Cardiovascular fitness, ball handling, and both offensive and defensive skills are honed through strategic drills and exercises. In the latter half of our practices, we shift our focus to team concepts. This phase involves learning and executing offensive and defensive formations, as well as situational game plans, in preparation for upcoming tournaments. Our practices are held at gyms located in Warwick and Coventry Rhode Island.

​

Tournaments

The Fall season runs shorter than Spring, with the first tournament starting the last week of September. Our teams will participate in 3 to 4 tournaments (Age/Division), each guaranteeing a minimum of three games. Additionally, there is the potential for advancement to additional matches and a championship. These tournaments are conveniently located within a drivable distance, typically less than one hour north of Providence, ensuring accessibility for our team.

Finances

Teams are formed with anywhere from 9-10 players. The cost of gym time, tournament fees, uniforms (for new players), and other league incurred costs are all factored into the registration cost. The cost for the Fall Season is $385.00, plus the cost of uniform. Uniforms for the Fall Season are $120.00, and include reversible shorts, jersey, and warm-up/ shooting shirt.
