Q: When will I hear about my child's team placement?
A: You will receive a welcome email from your child's coach with your team number and practice time for week 1. If you have not heard the Friday prior to week 1, please email us.
Q: What if my child and their classmates do not have enough players to form a team?
A: No worries! We will always try to keep classmates together, but if needed we will combine players from other schools to form your team for the season. If there are more than enough players from any given school and grade, we will form additional teams as necessary. Everyone who wants to play is welcome. We will not turn any players away prior the deadline.
Q: Can I register players a full team of players?
A: We do not have a single checkout option for full-team registrations; each player must register and pay individually.
However, you can still request to play together:
Players: You can include your coach's name during your individual registration.
Coaches: Coaches may submit player requests on the coach intake form.
Please note that all full-team roster requests are subject to league approval. Our goal is to ensure inclusivity and make sure no players who requested the team are inadvertently left behind. As long as requests align, you shouldn't have any issues.
Q: How many teams can one school have?
A: As many teams that can be formed from each school according to grade/age division will be accepted. Everyone who wants to play is welcome!
