If your child has not played with us recently, you will be required to upload a photo of your child's proof of birth (birth certificate or passport) during the registration process.
We have CENTRALIZED GAME LOCATIONS. There are no games played at Palisades, Colonel Beatty Park, or Uptown/McClintock. Those are practice venues only.
Our program utilizes PARENT VOLUNTEER COACHES! Without coaches, there will not be teams! Please consider volunteering to coach your child's team. You can volunteer during registration, and we offer discounted registration!
Our programs are TEAM-BASED, OPEN ENROLLMENT programs! There are no tryouts or evaluations for our general recreation programs. Teams are formed based on practice night and friend requests within your age group.
