program details and schedule

monarch Fall training program

Sept 3-Oct 26, 2024

The Monarch Fall Training Program is designed to provide middle and high school players with the highest level of skill development available in southeastern Michigan. Through an extensive array of innovative drills that challenge even the most experienced player, this training offers the “ball touches” necessary to improve stick skills and the footwork and agility drills necessary to improve dodging and defensive play. No two sessions are ever the same, and the emphasis is always on learning to play fast.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Fall training program:
things to know 

  • Schedule: Training sessions start Tuesday, Sept 3rd and end Saturday, October 26th. Middle and high school girls will train at the same sessions. When appropriate, girls will be separated into smaller groups by age and/or ability. There is room for only 60 players, and registration is done on a first-come, first-served basis. There will be 7 total training sessions each week to choose from. Indoor sessions require advance registration, which will be sent via email on a weekly basis. There will be one fall break during the session, from September 30-October 5.

  • Jerseys: All players will receive a reversible Monarch practice jersey suitable for tournament play. This cost is included in the registration fee.

  • Pricing: $700 for 14 sessions over the 7-week program.

  • Cancellations: In the event of inclement weather, a cancellation notification will be sent at least an hour before that day's session. Wednesday will be our make-up day.

  • Updates: You will be notified of schedule changes and weather-related make-up sessions weekly on Sunday nights. We will also keep this page updated with practice dates, times, and locations.

  • Tournaments: We are excited to compete in tournaments this fall! Families will indicate an interest in tournament play during the training registration process. Tournament fees are a separate cost of $150 each and will be billed later by invoice. I plan to take at least one high school and one middle school team to the following single-day tournaments:
