LEAGUE DETAILS

- Our season will begin on 9/13/2026 with our "Meet & Greet" event (this is where you meet your coach/team).

- Practices and games will be played back-to-back on Sundays only. Practice start times and the league game schedule will be communicated via email prior to the Meet & Greet.

- The Meet & Greet schedule for arrivals will be emailed to registered participants at least 2 weeks before the Meet & Greet.

- Practices are typically held for approximately 30-45 minutes prior to each game (except for the 3-4 year old junior division, see below) and at the Meet & Greet. You should expect to be at the field for about 1.5 hours each session.

*Juniors (3-4 year-old age group): The program for this age group is primarily instructional and an introduction to the game. No formal games will be played in this age group. Primarily, we will do some fun drills and activities to introduce concepts of the sport, get the kids moving, and do some “game-like” drills. Sessions will run for about 45 minutes for this age group with short breaks. Parents should plan on participating with their child in this age group. This age group will always start in the morning (9 or 9:30am) to avoid conflicts with naps.

Coaches: All parent volunteer head coaches will receive a background check to ensure the safety of all the children.

Please consider coaching your child’s team. It will be one of the most rewarding experiences you will have, and your child will love to have you as “coach”! We find that the kids respond better to having one of their parents coach the team.

Age divisions: We typically do not allow players to play up or down an age division. Based on past experience, nearly all players have the best experience playing within their determined age division. You may request for your child to play in a different age division. However, requests are not guaranteed and will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Based on past leagues, we expect our age divisions to be grouped as noted below. We do not group by grade, teams are determined by age groupings. Expected age groupings are:

Age 3-4 (Juniors)
Ages 5-6 (Freshmen)
Ages 7-9 (Junior Varsity)
Ages 10+ (Varsity)

Age divisions are subject to change based on final registration numbers and may differ from those noted above.

The age of the registered participant on the league start date (9/13/2026) is the age used to determine their age division.
