Each season during training camp we (the New England Wolves JR teams) spend considerable time setting standards and expectations for our athletes.
Over the course of several days and with group meetings, we will gather information from the team and work together to create an outline for our season, and set the guidelines to see that outline that shape.
The video above has been used in previous years to describe this process. Below is what our team came up with in 2023-24.
