FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
- When will I hear from my child's coach?
Answer: You can expect to be contacted approximately the second week in July by your child coach. Opening Day is scheduled for August 2, 2008.
- Can I request a coach? Can my child play on the same team as his friend?
Answer: Due to the large number of players participating in the various programs, specific requests to play with a friend or for a coach cannot be honored. If you really want your child to play on the same team with their friend, you and your child's friend's parent should sign up to head coach and assistant coach the same team. Parents will need to volunteer to coach prior to June 1. This will guarantee placement of the two players on the same team. However, each team is limited to one head coach and one assistant coach.
- How are teams formed?
Answer: Teams are formed based on the geographical location of the players. Every effort is made to keep players and coaches in the same area. However, depending on the amount of coaching volunteers we receive and their location some players could find that they do not live in the same area as their coach. The only guarantee is if the parent signs up to coach.
