2011 - 2012
Coach: Mr. Grunder (Room 134) 363-8489
Team
There is no set Varsity Team. All players are to be prepared to represent Walnut at the Varsity level. Current members are: Ashwin Kumar (Co-Captain), Will Schweller (Co-Captain), Sarah Adams, Ben Brandicort, Stuart Johnson, Olivia Kappers, Josh Mansfield, Jack McCann, John McCormick, Anna Mendlein, Cosmo Philpot, Alex Reblando, Matt Roth, and Kaelyn Willingham.
As a varsity sport at WHHS, we are required to participate in the “Pay to Participate” program this year. This means that you will be required to submit a $60 payment to WHHS one week before our first official competition. Failure to pay the fee by this time will result in your being dropped from the roster.
Competitions
1) Fort Ancient Valley League, East Division, on Wednesdays (weekly), from November through February at Walnut and at FAVC school sites. FAVC competitions are from 3:30 – 6:00 and include two varsity matches and one reserve match, using the OAC format.
2) Tournaments (Saturday events)
We are presented with two-three tournament opportunities each month, from local venues such as Cincinnati State to national events such as those in Atlanta or Chicago. We have not yet confirmed participation in any tournament this year, but are likely to begin tournament play as early as October.
Tournament participation is dependent upon other factors, such as your commitment to represent the team and the availability of Mr. Grunder or an acting coach. Travel expenses, meals, and overnight accommodations for tournaments will be at your expense.
Transportation
In the past, Walnut Hills has provided transportation to/from FAVC events (unconfirmed for 2011 – 2012 as of 9.14.2011).The team normally car pools for tournament/weekend events.
Practices: Mondays; M & W, 2:45 – 4:00 in room 134.
