Interactive Website: You can register to play, access schedules, view standings and team/player statistics, review game rules, and get the latest league news at our state-of-the-art website. The website is updated on a regular basis so please check the site often

Weather Cancellations:
There is one weather make-up date built into the schedule.  If we lose a weekend of games to weather, we will make them up on this date.  Any additional dates lost may or may not be made up.  We will do the best we can, but we cannot control the weather.  Because of all of the costs built into running the leagues, we cannot provide refunds for dates missed.  We will do all we can to make all the games happen.
 
Registration/Refund Policy:
After the final deadline, any remaining available positions will be filled on a first come, first served basis. If you registered after the deadline, you may still make buddy or coach requests, but they are not guaranteed. There will be NO REFUNDS after the deadline. If for any reason your child can no longer participate, we can transfer your child’s registration to another sport or season.
