If you are a returning player and all information (address, phone, email, etc.) is the same, please email [email protected] requesting a new registration for the upcoming season.

How do I know what level my son/ daughter will register at? All players need to sign up according to their age by August 1st. For example, if your child turns 11 on or after August 1st, they need to register for 11U.

Do I need a physical for my son/daughter? No physical is required, however there is a short medical release on the registration form that must be filled out. Also, for all new players we will need (2) copies of their birth certificate at the time of registration.

Will I have to do any fundraising? Every registered athlete is required to sell a minimum of $150 in our raffle ticket fundraiser which starts at Jersey Fitting when tickets are received. The money is collected upfront at the time of registration, therefore the money you obtain from sold cards will be yours. Optional fundraising will be distributed at other times during the season.

When is the money due? Full payment is requested at time of registration, however if assistance is needed, please email [email protected].

How can I volunteer to be a coach? You can contact us at [email protected] and someone will contact you to set up an interview. We try to have all coaches selected by the beginning of March of the upcoming season.
