This volunteer coach officiated league, offered in the winter/spring season, is strictly a recreation program. There are no tryouts, everyone plays regardless of ability. There are no league championships and no win-loss records kept. Focus will be on positive self-image, self confidence, sportsmanship and physical skills building.  This is not a program for highly skilled players that have previously played together.

    Teams are divided into two age groups; ages 5-6 and ages 7-8.
