Typically this date range is covers children going into 1st or 2nd Grade. 

Refunds requested after registration is closed are subject to a $10.00 fee due to equipment purchased.
Players are assigned to teams in the following manner:

  • Satisfy family relationships.
  • Satisfy player preference.
  • Assign any remaining players wherever the player fits, based on grade and team size.

Ideally all preferences could be satisfied. Unfortunately, this is generally impossible due to constraints such as:

  • Balancing the age mix on each team.
  • Balancing the total number of players on each team.

Early registration can significantly contribute to having preferences satisfied.  In any case, please encourage players to form additional friendships this fall.

We will only guarantee satisfying one friend request in an effort to prevent stacking of teams in attempt to maximize fair play.
