General Registration & Player FAQ
Registration Basics
How do I know what level my son/daughter should register at?
All players must register according to their age. Age cutoffs are set by league rules and determine the appropriate division for your athlete.
Does my athlete need a physical?
No physical is required. However, during registration we do ask that you disclose any allergies or medical conditions that our coaching staff should be aware of to help ensure your child’s safety.
What proof do you need of my child’s age, grade, or school?
