Coaching resource: Recreational Coaches Information
Coaches will need to pass a background check and complete online Safe Sports program

HOW TEAMS ARE FORMED:

1. The Recreational Director will create teams based on the grades/skill and school they attend. Further, the number of coaches will also be a factor in the number of teams/players on a team. Teams for Pre K to 2nd grade will have separate girls and boys teams rather than Co-ed is numbers allow, otherwise will be co-ed.

2. Requesting friends. Like all other sports and clubs, we will do our best to place players from similar schools on the same team. Friend request are allowed with the understanding that friends request "each other". Example: Jane requests Emma and Emma requests Jane. Requests that include multiple friends cannot be honored. NOTE: All teams in the same age groupings play at the same time and at the same fields, so no problem to share rides even if on different teams!

3. Sibling requests can be requested during the registration process and we will do our best to honor them. Skill and age will be a factor in the decisions.
