- Practice – Starts mid to late March, depending on weather conditions and will run through June. Practice is set by the coach but you can expect two to three times per week up to the start of game play. Practices after games have started will be at the discretion of the coach. Most teams will continue to practice on weekends.
- Games
- Start the second week in May and you can plan on at least two games per week through the end of June.
- Tournaments are held the 3rd week/weekend of June (this is subject to change if there are circumstances that warrant a change). League tournaments rotate each year for each division so that every town in the League gets the opportunity to host. These are set years in advance. Though rare, there may be years when your player’s age group will play tournaments in a town that does not have a team for that age group.
- Uniform – the parents are responsible for ordering a jersey for their player and a pair of black pants. See specific information below:
- The store will open on the 3rd Monday of March. The link will be shared with parents through email and TeamSnap. The email typically comes directly from the vendor.
- The store will remain open through the 3rd Monday of April to allow for any changes to be made, if necessary, before games start.
- Travel – For season games, travel will be anywhere from 15 minutes to 1 ½ hours. Parents are responsible for getting their players to the games or arranging transportation.
