League Updates for Summer 2025 Season

Very Important 

​

• Buddy Request:

  • Buddy requests are not guaranteed, but we will do our best to honor them for ages 9 and under.

  • For ages 10 and up, there will be a skills assessment to balance teams, making buddy requests more challenging to accommodate.

  • The timing of registration also affects buddy requests. If one parent signs up in July and another in November, it may be difficult to honor the request due to rosters filling up.

​

• Sibling Request:​​

  • ​Sibling requests for players in the same age group will be honored if the registration is completed before April 2025.

    • After May 2025, it becomes extremely difficult to accommodate. ​

​

• Team Balancing Efforts: ​​

  • Ages 10 and up: 

    • Due to these efforts, buddy requests for ages 10 and up may not be feasible.

    • Skills assessments will be conducted in June 2025 to ensure teams are as balanced as much possible.

​

• New League Divisions - League Balancing Efforts: 

  • Age 4-6 (One Division) ​

  • Age 7-8 (One Division) 

  • Age 9-11 (One Division) 

​

  • Names will not be placed on jerseys starting fall/winter 2024:
