Here are a few commonly asked questions:
1) How many games will each team play? Each team and season vary depending upon rainouts, how deep into tournament each team goes into the championship brackets. For the 10U age level, they will typically play in 5 tournaments (1 in May, 2 in June, 2 in July) play in 1 or 2 round robins and schedule 10-16 practice games. We keep the schedule manageable in an effort to not burn out the players and overburden the families. Typically keeping Memorial Day, Mothers Day, and July 4th weekends open for families.
2) How far away are the tournaments? Typically the tournaments are local for the younger age levels (for 10U local is considered as Woodstock, Schaumburg, Sycamore, Vernon Hills, Gurnee, Glen Ellyn, as examples). As the players advance in age they may play in out of state tournaments as the 12U White team did this season in Minnesota when they won NAFA Nationals.
3) Are the games scheduled in advance? Yes. The teams tournament schedules are typically determined very early in the year (January), and the practice game schedule is usually completed by Mid-March. Each Cary Crush team is responsible for updating the website and communicating via email changes in times, locations, etc. Rainouts or tournament rain delays are addressed immediately as information is available.
4) How much does it cost to play with the Cary Crush? The costs vary for each individual team. The number of tournaments, home games, umpires, etc. but typically a per player cost is between ($800-$1000). We understand the current economic landscape and offer various fundraising options to help in off-setting the costs for each family such as Cary Crush Sponsorships (each sponsor secured for the Cary Crush, will directly reduce the money’s due by that family), Cary Crush Discount Cards, etc.. You may choose to participate as your needs require, but the opportunity through fundraising or securing sponsorships to reduce your family out of pocket cost is significant and unique to the Cary Crush.
