If their ages fall within the division requirements, they will be placed on the same team.

Yes! Only our U-6 division is co-ed. All other divisions are same gender teams and competition.

I have three children, can they all practice at the same time and dates?
Many parents have multiple children within the program. It is next to impossible to insure that they will practice at the same time or day. Because the teams are chosen blindly and coaches determine their practice dates based on their personal schedules, we can not guarantee or promise that condition.

Games are played on Saturdays @ Sierra Field. In U-12 and up divisions your team may have to travel to another Region for play.
