WAITLIST INFO:

If divisions reach capacity, please register for the waitlist. You will only be charged the $25 facilities fee at registration. 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 facilities 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.

REQUESTS:

All requests for the Spring 2024 season must be made using this form: SPRING 2024 REQUEST FORM

Requests are NOT GUARANTEED.  Refunds will not be given if requests are not fulfilled. We make every effort to accommodate requests as best as we can, but based on the number of players, number of coaches, scheduling issues, and field space, it is not possible to grant every request.

Requests can only be made for your child. You cannot make requests on behalf of someone else.
