• Our Fall season consists of each player being placed on a team, coached by parent volunteers, with 1-2 practices during the week and games every Saturday. Practice day and time is chosen by the coach. If you want to choose when your child practices, then sign up to coach! This excludes our Schoolyard division; their practice and games are all on Saturday.
• Our all new players, there will be an evaluation day, in order to see the skill level of each player. This is to ensure balanced skill levels on each team. Evaluations are only for U8 Boys & Girls and U10 Boys & Girls and will be held on 7/15, 7/22 and 8/12. Sign ups will sent prior to those dates.
• Games will start after Labor Day on Saturday, September 9, 2023.
• Practices and games will be at Taft Elementary School - 1829 N. Cambridge St., Orange, CA 92865. When the time changes, practices will move to Handy Park - 2143 E Oakmont Ave, Orange, CA 92867.
SIGN UP TO COACH!
• Practices typically start the end of August, if we have enough coaches that sign up. If we don't have enough coaches, practices will be delayed. Please sign up to coach, even if you don't have experience; we have tools to help! Each coach chooses the practice day/ time so as a coach, YOU get to dictate your practice times.
SIGN UP TO COACH!
• Every season is delayed because we have not had enough coaches sign up from the get go. All coaches are volunteer parents, siblings, family members or friends, etc. and we cannot run our program without YOU! Please help our region get off on the right foot by coaching. Even if you don't have any experience, we have tools to help. We can pair you with someone who may have experience, but can't commit to every practice or game. Please volunteer if you have ANY interest in helping! Sign up as a volunteer on our website by logging in and choosing: Volunteer 2023-2024 (MY2023).
SIGN UP TO COACH!
