Reversible pinnies are included in the registration fee. Players should wear pinnies to all games and practices.
Volunteer parent coaches are needed for each team. Parent coaches will be provided with practice plans and home-game support. We greatly appreciate your willingness to coach, as we couldn't run without you! No experience necessary.
Team Assignments: When registration is closed, players will be grouped into teams. To maximize playing time, we have goal roster sizes:
Grades 1-4: 10-12 players
Grades 5/6: 14-16 players
Late registrants will only be accepted if there is space on a team. Otherwise, a waitlist will be formed.
Arrive to the field 15-20 minutes early to find your team and warm up.
Playing time is based on a play-to-learn format. Coaches will try their best to provide equal playing time for all players. There can be considerations should numerous practices be missed or there are other unforeseen circumstances during a game, but players should expect close to equal time on the field.
Be positive and supportive of all players on the field!
