Fall Paintball Outing
Each year we do an outing as a team where we play paintball together! The cost at paintball is $45 but we also order in some pizzas and some individuals tend to want to buy extras. We tell people to set aside between $50 and 65 for the day.

Location: Ambush Paintball
Time: 1PM
Cost: $50-65
Winter Ronin
Ronin is our club program. Due to CIF rule teams cannot play under their high school moniker in their off-season. As a result, we play under the Ronin Banner (Crespi plays as Livlax, Loyola as LALC, Chaminade as Berserkers and Notre Dame as Westside Bears). Ronin attends 3 tournaments and a showcase during the Winter Months starting in November immediately following box season. Our boys are automatically admitted to all Ronin Practice when they sign up for the Ronin Lift, Training and Box practice. Once signed into the training, St. Francis players can sign-up for tournaments individually or as a package.
​
Players should plan on playing in all Ronin tournaments as they help our team develop. The below link gives you the schedule for the Winter Ronin Program.
​
​
The St. Francis team gets the option to pay for tournaments at a discounted rate. To pick and pay for tournaments, please follow the below link.

Halloween practice
On Thursday October 30 we will host a practice at St. Francis. Players of all skills come dressed in costumes as we go through drills and finally have a short scrimmage. The best costume gets a free t-shirt off of the Winter Online Store.
Alumni Game
Each year we run an alumni game over Thanksgiving Break. The game is held on Friday, the 21st, the day after Thanksgiving at 10am. All players not traveling attend. This includes brand new freshman. Generally the current parents sign-up to provide coffee and donuts for all that attend the game!
Try-outs
At this time, we are a no-cut sport. That said we will cut for attitude if it becomes a problem. December 1, 2, 3rd we will hold our annual tryouts for the team. This gives our players ample time to learn the game and work their skills in the Fall and Winter before putting them in a tryout to assign their team.
Ugly Sweater Game
After tryouts are over, the team relaxes and has a great inner squad scrimmage. The rub? Everyone dresses up in their favorite ugly holiday sweater! This is an awesome time and gives the team a nice finish to their Winter before finals. The Ugly Sweater game is traditionally played on Friday the 5th, but may be moved to the 4th depending on Soccer and Football schedules.
Creator's showcase
The showcase is put on by Creator Sports California but is held at St. Francis and is amongst other things, a great way to showcase our players and facilities to college coaches. This will be the 6th year this showcase has been held at St. Francis and continuing to pack this event with quality players is a priority to keep college coaches interested in our program.
JANUARY TEAM TOURNAMENTS
This year we will be taking 3 different groups to 3 separate tournaments. As our program has grown it's made it more difficult to go to tournaments and make sure our teams can compete at the highest level. This year our Varsity 2-deep (which is our top goalie, top 6 poles, top 9 midfielders, top 2 fogos and top 4 attack) will be going to Sandstorm. The remainder of Varsity will be going with the top JV players to the Catalina Bison Invitational. The Frosh and remainder of the JV will be going to the Airstation Shootout. We are making this distinction to ensure ample playing time as well as a focus on going to these tournaments to set the tone for a winning season at all levels.
​​
Sandstorm -
Sandstorm is the largest tournament in California. It is held annually on MLK Weekend January 17th and 18th in Indio, CA (Palm Springs). The fee is traditionally $300 for our players. Hotels book up quickly, so it is suggested that parents make arrangements before October.
​​
Catalina Bison Invitational -
Traditionally this tournament has very good competition in a fantastic location. It is held on Catalina Island during their off-season. Getting hotel accommodations is not impossible late which is of course super helpful. The fee for this tournament is $300 for our players.
​​
Airstation Shootout -
The Airstation shootout is held in Irvine at the OC Great Park. We love this tournament because it allows us to get our developing players into the appropriate bracket. The fee for this tournament is $200 for our players. Our Frosh team along with several JV players will be attending this tournament.

Traditionally all Varsity boys have helped out Tribe throughout the season. This year, the Varsity team will all help in February. After the Jamboree players will have to apply to be a coach and earn the remainder of their service hours.
