Oct 25, U18 & U16 Girls Complete 100 Game Challenge-In February every year the Fullerton Hills Coaching staff challenges high school age girls to play 100 games before their respective high school seasons start in November.

What does 100 games of playing experience provide a player?  Consider that a typical high school season is about 28 to 30 games long.  Playing in 100 games allows a player to literally add 3 years of high school experience within a period of 12 months or less.
