Important Information for the Season

Participants: Boys and girls, Kindergarten through 8th Grade.
Practices: Teams start practicing in December and are allowed 1 one-hour practice per week. Practice day/time is determined by the coaches of each team, not the league.
Games: Games will run from early January to the end of March. For 4th grade and above, playoffs will tip off in mid-March. We aim to have 8-10 games, generally one game per week. Game schedules are not determined until teams are set. Normally younger Boys divisions (2nd grade and below) play on Saturdays and younger Girls divisions play on Sundays. Other divisions will depend upon the number of teams, etc.
Evaluation Day: Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 12. Each division will have a designated time slot for evaluations. This year evaluations are only required for new players.
Coaching Volunteers Needed: We need parents to volunteer to coach in each division. There’s a section in the registration to sign up. Our coaches are the backbone of the league, and we deeply appreciate your willingness to help make this season a success.
Vacation Breaks: We will follow the Hermosa/Manhattan Beach school calendar for vacation breaks.
More save-the-dates: We'll have our uniform pickup and team-meet on December 15th, and team/individual photos will be on February 1 & 2.
Exciting New Experiences: This year, we’re adding even more extracurricular activities and experiences for our players. Beyond learning the game during practices and games, we’re committed to creating additional opportunities for fun and growth. Let’s make this season the best yet!
Refunds: Up until the time your player is placed on a team, you can request a full refund if the rules around Covid have changed and you decide against playing. But once your child is placed on a team you have committed to the season and full refunds will not be possible.
