SCROLL DOWN FOR INFO ABOUT REQUESTS

REGISTRATION FEES:

Registrations thru 1/31/25:	$170/player
Registrations after 1/31/25:	$190/player

*A $25/player Facilities Fee is also required for each registration. This fee will go towards the operational costs to maintain and improve fields and facilities for the club.

WAITLIST INFO:

If divisions reach capacity, please register for the waitlist. If you have registered on the waitlist, we will do our best to place your player on a team. Waitlist players might not be added to a team until the start, or after the start, of the season. This is dependent upon the number of players who register and/or drop out, and the number of volunteer coaches we have. If we are able to add your player to a team, we will communicate the info as quickly as we can, and let you know how to make a payment to complete your registration. If we are unable to place your player, we will refund the registration fee.

Team placements are generally completed approximately 2 weeks prior to the start of the season. Once your player is assigned to a team, your coach will send you an email with details about the season, including practice nights. Volunteer coaches set the day/time of their weekly practices.

WE NEED VOLUNTEER COACHES!

Volunteer coaches are vital to the success of our league. We are always looking for head coaches and assistant coaches. Don’t be shy, get out there with your kids! Support for volunteer coaches is provided via coaching clinics, coaching videos, and coaching plans at beginning of each season. Background clearances are required for all volunteers.
