Important Program Details

Program Details:
This 7-week instructional league will involve skill instruction and technique-based games followed by game play thus making it a once per week commitment for kids, parents, and coaches.

7 Week Schedule -
Everybody plays. Every game!
There are No Tryouts, No Drafts, No Fundraisers, and No Mandatory Volunteering!
Teams are organized in divisions based on the age of the child. Teams consist of 6-8 (3-6 year olds) 8-12 players (7-14 year olds).
Practices are conveniently held on game day - just prior to the game.

Only 6 friend/coach requests per team will be granted, if more than 6 requests are made they will be made on a first come first serve basis. This is done to keep a competitive balance among teams.
