Q: I have missed the scheduled registration sign up day & the season has not started yet, can I still sign up?

Yes, you may register late on the mandatory assessment day.  We will be accepting LATE REGISTRATION on Assessment Day for all divisions, your child will be placed at the end of the wait list.  It will be your responsibility to find out the time and location for the specific age division assessment. All assessment are held on the same day but at different times.

Since there are no assessments (tryouts) for the 6ers division (5-6 year old), you will need to do a late registration on Assessment Day. Download & fill out the Registration Form & follow the instruction on the Registration Form page for late registration. Please keep in mind that your child will be placed on the wait list.

Q: What if I can’t make the mandatory assessment?

No shows will be placed at the end of the wait list.  There will be NO refunds after assessments are completed.  Uniforms are ordered soon after the mandatory assessments (tryouts).  There is an added cost to the league when uniforms are special ordered for someone on the wait list.  If you have any questions, please contact the specific Division Director.

However, the legal custodian (parent or guardian) must sign the waiver on the registration form & present a copy of your child’s birth certificate. *Only 1 call back ticket per family will be given out on registration day. Unfortunately for the Summer & Winter Season we do not accept any pre-registration or mail in registration. We do accept late registrations on the day of the assessments, but your child will be placed on the wait list.

As far as what specific range of times the game are played, it varies from season to season and at this time it is to early to announce.

We will have a better idea of game times, dates & gyms by our coaches meeting.

All refunds are issued after the current season assessment date.
