When/Where are practices/games? Practices will be twice a week, Monday-Friday for 1 hour. Times can be anywhere from 6:30-8:00 pm, depending on coach and gym availability.

  • Practices may take place at Western Union Elementary, Waxhaw Elementary, Sandy Ridge Elementary, Kensington Elementary, or Coffey Courts. 
  • Games may be Saturdays, with the possibility of a few Sunday games due to gym availability or school closures.
  • Home games will take place at Cuthbertson Middle & High School or Western Union Elementary.

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 division? - ​​​​​​​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 do the same.

  • 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.

Does WAA offer financial assistance for registrations? Based on certain circumstances, WAA does offer financial assistance. If you believe you would qualify for financial assistance, please see the application link below.
