Playing Time

Athena does not guarantee equal playing time. We believe, the TEAM’s most important lessons are learned during intense competition with the best teams in the area. Therefore, we will strive to field the most competitive line-up at all competitions in order to ensure high finishes and the chance to test ourselves against the best teams by competing to play in the finals of every competition we enter.

We recognize and appreciate that our playing time policy may not be consistent with the objectives of all student athletes or their families. We encourage any prospective athlete to fully consider the possible ramifications of this policy and to discuss this policy with their family BEFORE trying out for any of our teams.

We firmly believe that, for the right athletes, participation with any of our teams will be beneficial for them even though they may not receive as much playing time as they might on another team. Please consider the importance of playing time BEFORE attending tryouts.
