Team Formation
4th & 5th Grade
Players are assigned to teams by elementary school whenever possible. Roster sizes and coach availability are also considered during the team formation process.
6th, 7th & 8th Grade
Team rosters are formed via an "Equidraft" system. Equidraft is an evaluation and selection process where the objective is to create teams that have an equal distribution of player talent on each team.
Coaching
We are a 100% volunteer organization that depends on parent coaches. Our program is made possible by the generous individuals who donate their time to work with the players. Please consider coaching your player’s team.
