Player Registration: Players are registered by their age on December 31, 2024 for the 2025 season. For example: if a girl turns 13 on January 1, 2025, she will be considered 12U for the 2025 season. Players requesting to “play up” must receive the approval of the Recreation Manager. Submit your form and payment, along with your play up request form. You will be contacted at a later date with the determination. Registrations received after the registration deadline will be placed on a waitlist. Please note the following. Players placed on a waitlist are not guaranteed a placement on a team. Placement will only be done when an opening occurs. No players will be added to teams once games have begun or the max for each team of 12 players has been reached. Volunteer coaches introduce participants to the fundamentals of playing girls softball through weekly practices and weekend games. The league empathizes proper techniques, knowledge of the rules, team strategy, participation, and FUN.
SOCCER LEAGUE (FALL & SPRING)
Those registered by the deadline are guaranteed to play. Registrations received after the registration deadline will be placed on a waitlist and are not guaranteed placement on a team. Placement will only be done when an opening occurs. No players will be added to teams once games have begun. Due to the size and nature of the program, we cannot accept coach, player, friendship, or carpool requests. Please do not list these on the registration form.
The league provides an excellent opportunity for children of all ages and abilities (no experience necessary!) to stay fit, improve their motor skills, learn teamwork and have a great time. Grade-based teams ensure that players make new friends and play with their peers at all skill levels. The league is structured to limit roster size, maximize playing time on the field, and increase player development.
Many coaches are needed to make this a great league. Please consider volunteering as a coach. We provide equipment, training, and resources. Complete the bold section on the registration form and be sure to provide an email address. If there are not enough coaches volunteer, the league is forced to have large teams, reducing playing time or limiting the number of teams within the league.
