General Info
This is the 1st Annual HNAC V5 Invitational League. It is open first to teams who's schools are a member of HNAC. If we do not have enough schools within HNAC that wish to participate we will open the league up to other schools. Please sign your team up on the waitlist and they will be moved over accordingly.
We plan to only run 2 V5 fields. One will be skills only and the other will be qualification. If we need to take a break and run more skills mid session we will adjust for that.
This League is for teams who are part of the HNAC (Hoosier North Athletic Conference) including Argos, Caston, Culver, Pioneer, North Judson, North Miami, Oregon Davis, Triton, Winamac. Private teams associated within these school districts will be considered. For teams that are eligible to participate, please join the waitlist, and I will add you to the event's team list. If we do not have enough schools within HNAC that wish to participate we will open the league up to other schools.
We will be awarding: Tournament Champions and Skills Champion.
All sessions this year will be hosted at Caston. This is subject to change.
