SEASON LENGTH
The season consists of ten practice weeks, eight regular-season games, and an end of season playoff jamboree where top 8 teams per age group and division will play at least one additional game.
GAME DAYS AND TIMES
Games are played on Monday (Northeast) , Wednesday (Northwest) and Thursday (Southwest) evenings. Games times are 6:00 p.m., 6:50 p.m., 7:40 p.m., and 8:30 p.m. We work to make the younger age groups play at early time slots. Times may vary per season due to Daylight Saving Time.
Games are 40 minutes long, with two halves.
PRACTICE DAYS AND TIMES
Teams practice at least once per week. Times and locations are decided by the Head Coach and vary from team to team.
You will have the option to list a friend, sibling, or coach that you would like to have placed together with your child. All buddy requests must be submitted through our system. Sibling requests are guaranteed, as are requests by coaches to coach their own child the vast majority of the time. Friend requests are not guaranteed, but we do our best to accomodate the requests.
We do not currently accept team registrations. The most effective way to register a complete team is to have the coach register first, and then have the interested players request the coach under the Coach Request section of registration.
Coaching our youth league programs can be a fun and rewarding experience. The commitment is limited to a few hours per week. All coaches will be required to attend a one-hour training course and sign our Coach's Code of Conduct Agreement.
