How many teams will there be?

• There will be 3 teams this year. Teams may be a little larger than they were in 13u. This will prepare the players for high school where there are usually have 16 players per roster.

When 14U joins the HS practices come summer time, will the practice times change? Will they be during the work day?

• 14u practices will be in the evening hours until high school practices start. High school practices are held during the day on weekdays. While we understand this may be difficult for working parents, holding practice during the day allows our HS players to have the most resources (coaches, equipment, turf) available to them. Once schedules are made, we will offer a makeup practice day/time in the evening for those who can not make day-time practices.

• High school games are usually Thursday - Sunday. Unlike with 13u tournaments, games on Sunday are determined by team scores from Thursday - Saturday and not based on bracket play.
