Frequently Asked Questions:

What team is my child on?

Teams are determined during the mid-December draft. Coaches will contact families no later than December 20.

When will we know practice times?

Coaches select practice times during the draft and will share details with families afterward.

When will we get the game schedule?

Game schedules will be finalized and shared after teams are formed. Games begin on Saturday, January 10.

Can we request teammates, specific teams, or coaches?

Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate such requests.


Jerseys

We’ll be using the same reversible jerseys again this season. If your child still has one from last year (or if you have one handed down from an older sibling) feel free to reuse it. If you need a jersey, you can purchase one during registration. New jerseys will be ready for pickup at your game site at your first game.
