Team Structure / Enrollment
  • We aim to ensure teams have an appropriate number of players so opportunities for playing time are not limited.
  •  For the developmental grades 3 – 5, coaches will provide consistent skills and training for players to hone their skills, with the goal of equal playing time in games. This structure is consistent with the format of other towns in our conference.
  •  For the advanced grades 6 – 8, the league is incredibly competitive and physical, with safety being a primary concern. As such, playing time will be fair but determined based on practice attendance, development, skill, interest, conduct, etc. 
  • Based on enrollment, teams may be structured in various ways:
  • Pods
  •  Multiple teams
  •  Player waitlist
  • PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE CONSTRAINED BY THE AVAILABILITY OF VOLUNTEER COACHES AND FIELD SPACE REQUIRED TO SUPPORT ADDITIONAL TEAMS AND PODS.
