· During the weekend, games are usually played in the late morning or afternoon.
· During the spring season, we try to avoid scheduling games on Saturday’s to limit conflicts with baseball and other activities. Last spring, we played games on Sunday’s for the younger divisions and it worked out well to limit conflicts.
