Team Selection

  • Boys and girls will play in divisions with children in the appropriate grade levels. However, it may be necessary to combine certain groups to field a sufficient number of teams for a league.
  • We will do our best to fill any special requests as it relates to children playing together, but we cannot guarantee all requests.
