Equipment

Uniforms

Players are provided with the following to use for the calendar year.

8U: jersey & t-shirt

10U/12U/14U: jersey, shorts, t-shirt


Team Formation

Team size and mix are important components to a successful program. Therefore, we will be shifting some of our model beginning Spring 2025.

  • 8U: 10-13 players per team
  • 10U: 12-15 players per team
  • 12U & 14U: 16-20 players per team
  • A & B teams - determined at Spring season tryouts.
  • If there are enough for multiple B teams, we will balance those teams.
  • I​​​​​​f registration numbers exceed our planned maximum at any level and yet not enough to host multiple teams at our minimum, we will host a single large team for that level. 


Note: These roster sizes are ideal for Spring season. It may be necessary for summer teams to carry a 20% increase on the maximum.

Waive-up Requests

If you believe your player has the skill and ability to play at a level other than determined in registration (age), please follow the steps below.


  1. Complete season registration.
  2. Complete the Waive-up Request form provided in your registration confirmation email.
  3. For more information, please review our Player Movement section within our Policies & Procedures
