No. Children are not permitted to play down a division based on size or experience. In cases where the child is under a doctor's care for growth deficiency or another illness that may justify the need to play down, they will be considered on an individual basis. A doctor's note will be required in all cases.

Your coach will contact you before practices begin. Check the season calendar for your particular sport to see when practices begin. If you have not heard from a coach by the second week of practices, please contact us. Please do not contact us until that time. Many coaches schedule family vacations just before the start of the season, and so may be unavailable before that time.

If you already know who you want your coach to be, you may specify this when you register your child.

This is a wonderful way to end the season. All players, coaches, volunteers, and their families come together in one place to celebrate. Each team has a table setup with team photos and trophies ordered by the team mom. Slide shows, award ceremonies, and other events make this celebration fun for all who attend.
