Q. I'd like my son or daughter to play on a particular team or for a particular coach.
A. Unforunately, we can only accomodate requests of this nature to ensure siblings in the same age group are on the same team or when a player is associated with a sponsor of a particular team.  If you are coaching a team, your child will automatically be on your team.

A. Shin guards, socks over shinguards, a ball (size 3 up to grade 2, size 4 through grade 6 and size 5 7th grade and up) and cleats or sneakers. **Girls 5-7 recreation program uses a size 4 ball as they are a split age group
