How are teams selected?
The players are divided up into teams by the league commissioners. Evaluations are held for the 3rd, 4th, and 5th/6th grade leagues to group the players by skill level, and the commissioners will attempt to create balanced teams based on the evaluations. Any players not attending evaluations will be randomly assigned to a team.
Is there a playing time policy?
All players must play a minimum of two (2) full quarters. Each player must sit out one (1) quarter unless a team does not have enough players available. Over the course of the season - and as much as possible in each game - all players should receive equal playing time.
What is the refund policy?
While registration is open (June - mid September), a full refund will be given to players that pull out of the league. After registration is closed, no refunds will be given.
