SPECIAL REQUESTS
We know many would love for their child to play with specific friends or have a specific coach. As much as we’d like to honor every request, it simply isn’t possible with the number of players we have. Our goal is to create balanced teams where every child has the chance to grow, compete, and enjoy the game.
The ONLY EXCEPTION is when parents volunteer to coach. If two players are to be placed on the same team by request, both parents must actively serve as coaches throughout the season—not just enroll. This helps us keep teams balanced while also filling the vital coaching roles our league depends on.
Thank you for your understanding and grace as we work to provide the best possible experience for every child.
