There will be three different age divisions offered to all genders, between the ages of 4 and 10 years old (6U, 8U and 10U). The fee for new participants is $50 per individual (with a jersey) or $40 for returning players (no jersey). Proof of age or a Parks & Recreation Annual waiver is required to register. League play will begin the week of July 11, 2026. Space is limited, and registration is first come, first served.
