FAQ
When will we hear from our Coach? Within two weeks after the coaches draft has been completed, coaches will begin to reach out to each parent directly through an email and/or phone call. Game schedules will be released to you before the start of the season.
How do I pick the correct uniform size for my child? If you are new to our programs, we always suggest ordering one size larger just in case. Sizes can run small depending on the vendor used each sport. Sizes range from Youth XS to Adult XL. Once rosters are set, we order the shirts and sizes cannot be switched.
If we don’t like our team assignment/practice schedule/game schedule can we switch teams? Unfortunately we are not able to move players around once rosters are created & shirts have been ordered.
