The season runs Sundays, mornings for younger divisions, afternoons for middle-school divisions, starting mid-March through May 18^th (no games April 20^th). The first Sunday will be the single and only team practice, and then games the rest of the season each Sunday.

Registration is open through 14 February, 2025 only. No late registrations will be accepted.

Registration fees are $75.00/player with a $5.00 sibling discount for each additional child in the family when registered in our program during the same registration order.
