TEAMS & SPECIAL REQUESTS – Mini Comet teams are formed by separating age and gender as evenly as possible. In all the rest of the leagues, teams are formed based on school (when possible) while also considering evenly separating gender if there is more than one team for that school. After schools are separated then special requests are taken into consideration. SPECIAL REQUESTS ARE NOT GUARANTEED! Please understand that there are typically 900-1000 kids in this program. Putting teams together is a challenging puzzle and we try our best to honor as many special requests as possible, as long as the request is within the same age/grade division and placed prior to the registration deadline.
REFUND POLICY – Refunds are issued if the request is made on or prior to Monday, April 1st 2024. Late Fees are non-refundable.
PRACTICE CONFLICT – If you have a practice conflict you may contact the Community Rec Office prior to Mon. 4/1/24 and efforts will be made to move your child to a different team IF SPACE PERMITS. If the league is full and there is no room to move your child, a refund can be issued if the request took place prior to April 1st 2024. Please Note: The Athletic/Community Rec Office is closed during Spring Break.
