This will include a team practice or skills practice with mixed teams. There will also be playoffs this year and records will be kept.

• The 7th/8th Girls' teams will likely play in a local mini-league featuring inter-town play with Westborough, Grafton, and Hopkinton.  In past seasons, games have been played either on a Saturday or on a weeknight, with one game played per team per week.
