    The league will provide players with a personalized jersey (with last name and selected number) and a pair of league shorts.

    Cleats with nonmetal spikes are strongly recommended. Metal spikes are not allowed. Footballs, flags and cones will be provided to the coaches for use during the season.

  • Special Requests

    Please do NOT submit requests at this time. I will email you when it’s time to submit requests.

    Requests are NOT guaranteed. If you or your child choose not to play because you didn't get all your requests after the roster is released, you will NOT get a refund.

    Be sure to include any special requests when submitting your registration forms. These may include:
    Practice requests — What days/times you can absolutely NOT practice?
    Player requests — You may request to be with siblings or friends. However, not all requests will be granted so that we can keep teams more even.
    Coach requests — You may request to be with a coach. However, not all requests will be granted so that we can keep teams more even.
