Equipment

Whether purchasing equipment for the first time or looking to move beyond your starter gear, head over to our Equipment page for more information. 


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
