FAQS
-We recommend you try to form a team by talking to teachers, parents in your child's class, etc, to try and form a school team on your own.
In the event you can't do that, sign up as an individual. If we receive any other individuals from your school in same grade, we will place you together.
-Games will be played at a location TBD.
-Each team is responsible for finding a practice facility and any costs, as well as uniforms. Uniforms can be jerseys, shirts, etc. They just need to be the same color and be numbered. We suggest making your own, or going to local vendors, such as Yellow Frog, PJs, the Mark It, Firehouse, First Street, the Sports Page, etc.
-Games will be played on weeknights. We do not know what night or when until we close registration and see how many teams sign and in what division.
-6 games, and then a single elimination city tournament (for grades 2nd-6th)
-Coaches are NEEDED! Especially for individual registrations. There are no requirements, other than someone who is willing to organize practices and encourage and love children.
