PRACTICES, GAMES AND TOURNAMENT
Practices will be held (at minimum) once a week, and are scheduled on Tuesdays and Thursdays, beginning at 5:30pm and ending around 8:30pm. Practices are 40 minutes in duration and will be held at Cedar Elementary. Practices will tentatively begin in early April.

Games will be played on Wednesdays and Sundays at Cedar Elementary. Games on Wednesdays will begin at 6:30pm, and the final game of the evening will start around 7:20pm. Sunday games begin at 2:00pm, with the final game of the evening beginning at 5:15pm. Games are 40 minutes in duration.

Not all teams will be scheduled with games every weeknight, but teams are encouraged to take advantage of this time for a team practice, as we will have fields available. There may also be an opportunity for a player to be picked up for games with another team if they are no players for their roster.

While the league's primary goal is to ensure our youth athletes have fun, we also want to encourage proper sportsmanship through learning how to win and lose.  Therefore, a single elimination tournament will be played at the end of the season to determine the League Champion for all divisions except for the Preschool/1st Grade Division.

EVALUATIONS
Evaluations will be on March 11, 2024 at the Avon Intermediate School West Gymnasium.

We are always looking for coaches! If you didn't note in your child's registration that you'd like to coach, you can log back into your account and volunteer to be a Head Coach or Assistant Coach, utilizing the Volunteer tab.
