TEAM PLACEMENT:  For spring grade 3, teams are picked in a round robin fashion by the coaches with the goal of making equally skilled teams. While they try to pick players to have school mates, it is not always possible.  Requests can not be made to be placed with a specific friend or coach. Head and assistant coaches can make a request to be paired together. 

EARRING SAFETY ALERT!

If you are planning to get ears pierced, do it early in  the summer so they can be removed at first game in Sept. or early in winter so they can be removed at first game in April. Referees will not allow taping of earrings - they must be removed in order to play.
