We will be going off of this PDF schedule until games are able to be uploaded into SportsEngine.
Registration will be open December 15th through January 15th or until spots are filled!
**Registration numbers are high - No Late Registrations Accepted**
Coach Registration is now OPEN (link below)
*** TEAMS WILL NOT BE FORMED WITHOUT A COACH ASSIGNED ***
Example: If we have only 3 Coaches in a division and max roster is 12, only 36 children will be allowed to roster on teams. All others will be waitlisted until another volunteer coach is available. This will be on a first come, first served basis using the online registration timestamp.
Coach applications will open 2 weeks before the youth registrations and will be extended until the youth registration ends. We encourage early Coach registration to allow us to get a start on team counts. Thank you!
