For players entering K through 5th grade in the 2021-2022 school year. The season runs 6 weeks from July 18 through August 26, 2022. Registration typically opens in February and closes June 15th or until full. The registration fee is $125.
Teams are organized based on such factors as schools and efforts are made to match play-with request, although this is not always possible. Teams are led by a Parent Coach; it is ideal to have 2-3 coaches per team. Please consider coaching and complete Coach Registration.
