McClintock MS/Uptown (U6-U10)

Wait list Information:

A wait list will begin when the age group is full based on the projected number of teams. If enough players and coaches are interested, we will add teams.

If you are signing up for the wait list, there is no fee due unless we are able to assign your player to a team. However, be sure to complete registration all the way to get a confirmation on the screen and by email.

If a spot becomes available we will reach out by text or email and you will be asked to make a payment at that time. We are unable to predict a time frame for the wait list, sorry!

We are almost always in need of volunteer head coaches. If you are interested in volunteering, please complete that part of the registration form when asked. If we need you as a head coach, then your child will be activated from the wait list.
