A: We need volunteer coaches! One of the most important aspects of our leagues is getting good coaches to volunteer their time once a week during their child's game and/or practice.

Q: What are the age brackets?
A: Our youth leagues are open to kids ages 5-14. Actual team age brackets will be determined after the registration deadline by the number of kids that register per league at each age/grade level.
When putting together divisions, we consider age as of when the league begins play, grade level during the current school year, and playing experience to ensure that each team in each division has the same average age, grade level, and experience.
Every effort is made to ensure that all teams are as competitively equal as possible. Should you request to play with a friend, group of friends, or for a specific coach, the special requests will be honored with the requesting kids being placed in the division that the oldest child would normally play in.
