Understanding The Divisions:
The U in U6, U8, U10, U12, and U15 stands for Under.
U6 is for 4 and 5 years of age.
U8 is for 6 and 7 years of age.
U10 is for 8, and 9 years of age.
U12 is 10, and 11 years of age.
U15 is 12, 13, and 14 years of age.
If a player cannot play in the designated age group because of size or a particular challenge we can move them down to a more appropriate level after evaluating the player. If a player is very skilled and wants to play up that is allowed too, please just let us know.
Evaluations occur for players moving up and new to the club for U10, U12, and U15. This is to help balance the teams not cut any players. All players, regardless of skill level or experience are welcome to join and play.
