Practices will begin the week of January 6, 2025, with games set to begin the weekend of January 18, 2025.

The teams practice during the week and have games on Saturday or Sunday mornings.  The days and times for practices are at the coaches' discretion.  All coaches are parent volunteers, and they set the schedule that works best for them.  If you would like to be a coach, please indicate so by checking the coaching option at the bottom of your child's registration form.  Please remember you may request a player to be on the same team as another player if they are siblings only.  There are no requests for coaches. 

Cost:  $60 for the first player in family, $55 for second player in family, and $50 for each additional player in family.

You will receive a jersey.  You must provide shin guards.  Sneakers are required footwear. A mouth guard is needed if your child wears braces.
