Frequently Asked Questions
What documentation is required to sign up?
You will need to provide a copy of your player's birth certificate.
What team will my child play on?
Teams are assigned based on age (as of 7/31/2026). If you have a team or coach preference, you will be given the opportunity to provide your preference during registration. If you do not have a team or coach preference, your player will be assigned to an available team closest to your home address.
When will I hear from my child's coach?
Expect to hear from the coach about 1 to 2 weeks before the start of practice.
What if the team in my area does not have enough players?
If a team fails to meet the minimum required players to safely participate, those players will be assigned to another team that is below the maximum. We will strive to keep players as close to their home boundary as we can.
What if the team in my area is full?
Once a team reaches the maximum number of players, players will begin to be assigned to an overflow team in that area. If the overflow team does not meet the minimum number of players required, they will be combined with another team that has not reached the maximum. See What if the team in my area does not have enough players?
What is the latest I can register?
Registrations will be accepted until March 21st or until all teams are at capacity.
