Frequently Asked Questions

  • Your Sand Cats membership includes 2 practice opportunities per week: Mondays and Thursdays from 5-6 pm at the Glendale Community College gym.

    These 8 clinics will maintain at most a 10:1 player-to-coach ratio to guarantee individual attention from professional trainers.

    Membership is $175 per month plus a one-time registration fee of $25. Membership can be ended anytime with 30 days notice.

  • There is a one-time $25 registration fee for membership.

    If your daughter plans to compete in tournaments, you will need to purchase a 4-piece jersey set (1 home color set + 1 away color set) prior to the first tournament. Expected cost is $125.

    Participation in tournaments will also come with a small fee of $15-$50 depending on the host of the tournament.

  • The program is currently open to ages 8-14. Beginners to advanced players are welcome! Practices are divided up by skill level so that players on both ends of the spectrum can thrive. 

    Advanced players will learn advanced techniques in preparation to compete against other SoCal girls teams in weekend tournaments.

    Since tournament entry is optional, the Sand Cats clinics are also an excellent place for beginners to learn until they are ready for gameplay!

  • Our current home is the freshly renovated Glendale Community College gym, located just off the Mountain exit of the 2 freeway. Practices are Monday and Thursday evenings from 5-6pm. Parents are welcome to drop off or stay and watch.

  • Weekend tournaments are hosted by organizations throughout Southern California on an ongoing basis, but in 2026 the Sand Cats will plan to participate in 1 per month, mostly in Pasadena, and mostly single day events playing 1-2 games. In 2027 (or sooner if the demand is there), participation will likely increase to twice per month and expand to areas in Los Angeles and Orange Counties.

  • Sand Cats practices will always be run by at least 2 professional coaches with no greater than a 10:1 player-to-coach ratio.

    Sand Cats practices are run by Head Coach Justin Viar. Mondays feature Coach Miles, currently on the player development team for the Los Angeles Sparks. Thursdays feature Coach Aiden, currently an assistant coach for Occidental College’s men’s team.

  • There are several advantages to choosing a club team program for your daughter’s skill development.

    Players stay together as a team over time, which allows for stronger relationships, better chemistry, and a deeper sense of accountability. This continuity helps build confidence, teamwork, and lasting friendships.

    Players are developed at their own pace and are not pushed into game situations before they’re ready, helping build confidence and long-term growth.

    We also place importance on mindset and effort. Playing time is earned through attitude, growth, and commitment, helping players take ownership of their progress.

    Being part of the Sand Cats, players develop pride in representing their community and contributing to a culture they help build together.
