Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I register my child for a program?

    Registration is completed online through our website. Simply select the desired program, complete the required information, and submit payment to secure your spot.

  • Does my child need experience?

    No, we welcome players of all levels of experience and they will learn the game from experienced coaches and staff.

  • How often do you practice?

    Practice is twice a week for most divisions - once during the week, and once on the weekend (typically Saturday). Practices end for the Peewee division once games start. All other divisions continue with one practice a week once games start.

  • What days and times are the games?

    Games are spread out so you play one game during the week and one on the weekend, unless your team has a bye. Game times vary across divisions, but don't start before 5:00 PM.

  • What is included in the registration fee?

    Registration includes a team jersey and hat, as well as field use, equipment, umpires, insurance, and league operations that make the season possible.

    Refunds will be issued until January 31st. After that, no refunds will be issued.
