 The Region 9 Practice Lottery will be held on Saturday July 27th, and

Group 1 - 6:00 Double coaches needing two or more practices. (6U team excluded)
Group 2 - 6:30 Divisions 7U-Boys, 7U-Girls, 8U-Boys
Group 3 - 7:00 Divisions 8U-Girls, 10U-Boys, 10U-Girls
Group 4 - 7:30 Divisions 12U-Boys, 12U-Girls, 14U-Boys, 14U-Girls.
Requirements: You must know your Division and team number.

 Please keep the following in mind:

•  It's in-person.  Teams were selected randomly within each Division and assigned to a Group. We will be updating the Practice Schedule that is posted at the Region 9  website after the lottery is done.  Check the Practice Schedule before you come to the lottery, so that you know which fields, days and times are available for your Division.
  
  We recommend you arrive at the lottery at least 10 minutes prior to your selection time.
•  It's Random:  You may be among the 1st 5 coaches in your group to choose, or you may be among the last 5. We select the order randomly. 
•  Flexibility and Adaptability are essential:  With so many teams, not everyone can practice Tuesday & Thursday at 5:00pm or 6:00pm.
•  Practice Days:   Monday through Friday; practice times are ONE HOUR LONG and start times are on the hour (4:00, 5:00, 6:00, etc.). 
• Be Prompt: If you are not present at the start-time for your Group, you will be dropped to the bottom of your Group and Division's list.
  
• Field Maps: Field maps with letters assigned to each practice field can be found at this link.  Practices are assigned to 1/2 of each field:  N or S for north/south fields H, I, J and K; and E or W for east/west fields C, D, E, L, M and N.

It will help if you:

• MAKE SURE YOUR COACH IS REGISTERED IN SPORTS CONNECT
•  Know your assigned Team Number (e.g. 07UB03 or 10UB19).
•  If you are not the Team Coach, know his or her name ("Coach Bob" won't be enough to help us if needed).
•  Have a few different options on practice days and times.  You might not get your first choice!
