Before your complete the 2 registration forms and in order to hold a spot on the summer schedule, we ask that you email us the following information:

1. Team Name (also let us know your general location).
2. Coach and Assistant Coach's name & primary phone#s (if you are coaching more than 1 team, you must have an assistant to accomodate any schedule conflicts).
3. The gender of the members of your team.
4. The number of players (maximum 12/minimum 10).
5. Grade Level (as of Sept. 2024) in which you want to compete (let us know if you want to play up or down a grade level).

After recieving this info, you will be placed on the Team Schedule List but you must send us a minimum $500 deposit or the full registration fee of $1,295 by May 1st, along with your Coaches/Team Registration form.

• As a reminder, when filling out the revised registration forms, please clearly indicate the team name, the skill level, the gender, and the coach's cell # and email address. Those items seem to be omitted most frequently when we are reviewing applications, so your cooperation is appreciated. Also, PLEASE REMEMBER THE GRADE LEVEL IS DETERMINED BY THE GRADE THE PLAYERS WILL ENTER IN SEPTEMBER 2024.
• When determining the skill level of your team, if you have a very strong, competitive team, you may sign up in the next higher grade level.
