The league will run for 5 consecutive weeks, starting on Saturday January 13th and concluding on February

10th. The kids will be placed on teams, and each team will have a coach that will be with them for the entire

season. Your child will practice with his or her team for approx. 45 mins prior to their game time each

Saturday. The cost will be $20 per player.
