Important Information For ALL Programs
Team Assignments: We will make initial team assignments during tryout and player placement weekends. If a player is unable to attend the Player Placement weekend for the Futurestars and Viking Club programs, we will assign them to a team. Please notify us in advance if you are unable to attend the March 29-30 weekend. Our staff may move players to maximize the opportunity for the player and the team.

Schedule Conflicts: We recognize prior obligations will take precedence over playing. Family, church, or school commitments may arise that could prohibit a play from attending certain weekends, days, or game. However, since all entry fees, gym fees and administrative fees hinge on a full roster, we are unable to give refunds for missed events.

Transportation, hotel costs, and meals are the responsibility of the athlete and their family. The Viking Club/Team Wisconsin does not provide these things.
