LEAGUE INFORMATION
Each division will ideally consist of 5- 6 teams, with players distributed as evenly as possible to promote a fun and competitive experience.
Once a division reaches its maximum capacity, additional players will be placed on a waitlist.
Players will participate in a Skills Evaluation before teams are formed.
Coaches will use the evaluation to help create balanced teams. **Please note: We cannot guarantee same-team requests. The only exception is siblings participating in the same division/league.
Coaches will select their players, and coaches will determine their team's practice schedule.
Each team will practice one day per week for one hour. Practice nights are determined by the team's coach and may take place on any weekday evening
