   A. Practices are very important. As a team game, many concepts need to be worked on with other teammates. Most players will miss a practice through the season. Those that cannot make any practices due to another commitment should contact HBA to see if there is another facility with an opening that has a different practice night. If this option is not available, the player should rethink their involvement with HBA.

   A. We have divisions for children 6 - 18 years old.

By May, June the popular centres are filled up and we must make a decision as to where the player can play. If you do not have more than one choice the player could miss out. It also saves us numerous phone calls in Sept. trying to move late registered players around.
