Can I request a specific practice day/time/location? What if I have a conflict with another activity? Can I request not to practice on a certain day? 

  • We cannot honor specific practice day/time/location requests.

I'm registering more than one child. Can I request they be on the same team even though they fall under different age divisions

  • We will review this on a case by case basis in order to ensure all children have fun and are playing in the appropriate division based on skill level. 

Can I request a teammate for carpooling purposes? 

  • We will not be honoring any requests for players to be on a team together. This is the only way to ensure competitive balance. 

My son/daughter will be trying out for the school team. What should I do? 

  • Middle Schoolers can play both School and Rec. High Schoolers cannot. 
  • For middle School Players: Our suggestions is to register them. The school does not ensure playing time, and every year we receive request to join after the season starts.
  • For High School Players: Please register them, and if they make the team, we will refund your fee. We had to turn players away in the prior seasons after final cuts due to a lack of coaches. Registering them will help us prepare.
