It is our intention to have a fun and safe season. We believe that the above guidelines will go a long way in helping that become a reality. But, even if these guidelines are followed, there still may be a chance that infections will occur. While there may be some rules that you don't think are necessary or that you disagree with we still ask that you follow them. If you feel that you cannot follow these guidelines then we ask that you not register your child for this season. Infringements of the rules will be communicated to the league coordinator and the commissioner to determine if any action needs to be taken. Repeated infractions will result in the cancellation of the child’s registration and their removal from the team.
