Key Dates are subject to change at any point in time.

For game and practice schedules, please consult your Sports Engine app--team managers will post games as soon as the schedules are ironed out (typically it takes till Labor Day/start of school).  We understand everyone is eager for their schedules, but the logistics of 100s of games and fields do take time, so please be patient and we will post as soon as they are all set.

What to do if you miss Weigh-Ins and/or Evaluations?

Parents...registered kids NEED to be at weigh-ins and evaluations. However, we understand families have plans and things happen. Here's what you do in the event your child cannot be at weigh-ins or evaluations.

  1. If your child cannot make weigh-ins, your child must weigh in the first night of evaluations.  (No evaluations will occur without weigh-in information completed)
  2. If your child cannot make evaluations, your child will still be added to a team. 
  3. If your child cannot make both weigh-ins AND evaluations, send an email to the respective Director to organize a time and place to meet with the director and weigh-in.
  4. But if nothing gets figured out and your child cannot get weighed-in or evaluated, he/she will definitely be placed on a team.  

The weight of your child determines whether they can carry the ball or not. Teams have a certain number of ball carriers, and teams have a certain number of non-ball carriers.  

Directors with email links are below:
