Evaluations
Mandatory evaluations will be held for all players (except for the pre-K and kindergarten co-ed league). Players must be evaluated to ensure that teams are as balanced as possible. Those volunteering to coach are encouraged to attend evaluations for their own assessment of players for their age group in which they are volunteering. Unbiased outside coaches will conduct the evaluations, to ensure fairness and balance.
Practices
Practices will be held one night a week and on Saturdays until season begins. Weekday practice nights are Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Practices will begin on Saturday, November 2, 2019.
Games
Most games will be played on Saturdays (except for the pre-K and kindergarten co-ed league — these games are Friday nights). Games will be played in local church gyms within the area. Games will begin in early December and end on or around mid February.
Friend request policy
Parents are strongly encouraged to volunteer, as each each team is allowed a head coach and an assistant coach, which will pair their children together. Siblings are guaranteed to be placed on the same team unless otherwise noted.
Friend requests will be collected after registration this year. An email will be sent in October to confirm registration status and obtain additional information.
Coaching information
To sign up to coach, please check the appropriate option when registering your child. Information will be sent to all coach volunteers regarding mandatory Safe Sanctuary training and selection of teams, which will take place on Monday, November 4.
