We do allow coach requests during registration, but with over 400 participants in the program last year, we cannot guarantee that your coach request will be honored.
6. Do we honor ride share requests?
Due to the volume of participants, we no longer honor ride share requests.
7. Can my child play up?
We encourage parents who feel that their child(ren) need more of a challenge to reach out. We will evaluate each request to play up on an individual basis and will review prior playing experience and grade request. You may not play up out of convenience to play on a sibling team and you may only play up one grade (i.e. – if you are a 3rd grader, you may not play on a 5/6 grade team).

No. The child must be 4 as of September 1, 2025, to play.
