Frequently Asked Questions

When do the games start?: Games start the week of June 1st.

How long does the season last?: We strive to get every team at least 7 games. If we have 1 weather cancelation, the game will not be made up. If there is more than 1 cancelation, we will do our best to make up a game.

How can I register to coach a team?: That would be great! Please click the 'volunteer' tab and register. I will follow-up once I see you in the system.

When and where are practices?: Practices will be held on either Monday OR Tuesday, and can begin the week of May 25 - this will be determined by your volunteer coach.

Can I request a certain coach/teammate?: We do our very best to accommodate your request. In most cases we can make this happen, but it will depend on roster availability in most cases.

Can participants play up or down a grade: Players can play up a division, but not down.
