League Directors
Important Dates For Fall:
Playing up / down: The park board has voted that kids can either play up or down based on their league age. We, as a park, can make recommendations to the parents to play in a specific league but it is up to the parents to decide.
The requirements are:
1) A player who choses to play up can only play up/down 1 age group. Example If you are league age 9 you cannot play up to league age 11.
2) Due to limits of the online registration, parents deciding to let their kids play up or down must register at the park and not online.
