Q: Can I request that my child be placed on a team with a specific friend?
A: No, due to the large number of participants (over 600), we are not able to accommodate requests for specific teammates. We encourage parents to reinforce with their children the value of making new friends and meeting new children from other schools.
Q: May I request a specific practice night and time?
A: No, but you may request a full refund if you are placed on a team with a practice time that you are unable to fit into your schedule if the registrar has been previously made aware of your potential conflict.
Q: What is the deadline for registration?
A: All children registering before December 10th are guaranteed placement on a team. At that time the determination of the number of teams in each grade and gender group is made according to the number of children in each grade and gender group registered. There must be an even number of teams competing in each group. After the number of teams is determined we will continue to take registrations only in groups where there is space available. We do maintain a wait list for closed groups.
Q: Is there a need for coaches?
A: YES. If you have any interest please consider volunteering. Even if your schedule doesn’t permit volunteering as a head coach, please consider volunteering as an assistant. This is a great way to help out while spending time with your child. Please indicate your interest on the registration form. A coaches clinic will be held before the season begins.
Q: Are there other volunteer opportunities?
