You will get expert instructions on improving your skills, basic team concepts, zones (offence & defense), strategies, rules and much more. Each week will provide a clinic on a specific topic for the first hour, which will then be followed by a scrimmage to practice those concepts.
You need to be a TUC Member in order to register for this league and registration cost is $50 for all 5 weeks. Registration is now open (note if you are having difficulties registering please review our How To Register page or contact admin@tuc.org).
Also, you can certainly participate in our regular 16 week summer league on another night if you wish to do so, and use this clinic league as your 'practice'. Membership and league fees would apply and spots are subject to availability.
