To ensure a place in the league do not delay your registration. Registration may close earlier for some age groups that reach the maximum numbers. Once maximum numbers are reached a waiting list will be created. We will add players from the waiting list if players drop or if we are able to host additional teams in the age group. Late registration will only be accepted to balance individual age group numbers; a $25 late fee will be added to your registration.
