We do not guarantee all requests. We can give you last year's schedule, but that schedule could change for this upcoming season. You may enter a request during your online registration, but be aware that when you request specific day/time of practice and at the same time request to be with a friend, both requests may not be fulfilled or fulfilling one request will cancel the other.

No. Returning players refer to basketball league only, although not in consecutive years.

|
I would like to pay for my registration in person. Can you hold my check until I know for sure that we can participate?
|
No. Checks will be processed and applied immediately and will be subject to terms of cancellation and refunds. If a balance remains until November 11, the registration will remain in incomplete status and will prevent us from drafting your child to a team. If we do not hear from you at that time, we will assume you are no longer interested in participating and your incomplete registration will be dropped.

If my husband or I volunteer as a coach, will this qualify us to register on October 2?
|
Only if you are a confirmed coach through Kelley Stonis, then you can register as a volunteer and we will give you permission to register on the first day of registration, October 2. Registering yourself as a volunteer does not automatically qualify you as a confirmed coach.
|
|
We are going to be out of town on our registration date. Can we register early?

You can only register on the day you are qualified for, however you can register as early as 12 am on that day. Please do your best to access the website before you leave town.
