Late fees have been increased. Late registrations are very time consuming and disruptive to teams and coaches. Please sign up on time in order to be assured a place on a team. Teams will be formed in February/July and a player must be registered in order to be placed on a team. If you are not signed up when teams are formed you will be placed on a team as space is available in early April/late August.
TEAM PLACEMENT: For grades 1,2, and fall of grade 3, age group coordinators try to set up teams with at least two players from a school together. Teams are mixed with at least 2 schools per team. Requests can not be made to be placed with a specific friend or coach. Head and assistant coaches can make a request to be paired together. For spring grade 3, teams are picked in a round robin fashion by the coaches with the goal of making equally skilled teams. While they try to pick players to have school mates, it is not always possible.
VOLUNTEER COACHES: Parents can sign up to volunteer as a head or assistant coach when you register your child. If you would like to sign up after your registration was done, please email the age group coordinator listed here.
