Once teams in an age group are filled, we will add additional players to a waitlist until we get additional coaches for more teams. Register early and consider coaching! We will give you the support you need to coach, co-coach, or be an assistant coach. You can sign up to coach in the registration process. Please note that all coaches are refunded fees in full after the season!
