2023 Recreational
Fall Season

Our Fall Season Registration is Open!!  Below are important details pertaining to the Recreational Fall Season.
  • Team rosters will be drafted with the  Volunteer Coaches at the end of June
  • Schedules will be posted in early August
  • In order to keep the balance between the teams, we will try to have equal number of both age groups, limited number of all star players per teams, diversity of schools. We will try to honor friend requests, but there are no guarantees friends will be on the same team.
  • All Friend requests need to be submitted through the  friend request form
  • The Fall Season will consist of 9 league games followed by the Recreational tournament.
  • Fall Season practices will start the week of August 15th and end in the late October
  • Teams will have one set practice per week, based on the volunteer coach’s preference and one game on Saturdays only for the in house teams U6-U12. Our U14, U16 and U19 teams played last year in the SoCal recreational league with games being on Saturdays and Sundays.
