Additional
notes:
Youth
divisions are determined by the player’s age on July 31, 2008 (the same
as for the JKYSC youth outdoor league). The Arena office will have a
complete list of everyone who played last year whose DOB is already
verified (and the office will sign off on registration forms as “on
file”) Those who need to verify their DOB: A birth certificate (or driver’s license) will be
required to be shown at the time of registration.
An
email address is REQUIRED on each registration form (i.e. one email
contact for each team, one email contact for each individual
registrant). If you do not
have email access, you will have to call to check on the status of teams
and schedules and stop in to pick up a copy of the schedule.
Individual
youth players signing up can only be placed on a team if the appropriate
division has enough individual registrants to form a full team and a
parent volunteers to coach the group. We must have at least 4 teams signed up in each youth
division to keep the division.
A
box can be checked off on the individual registrant form if you are
interested in volunteering to coach a team of individual sign ups.
NOTE: we will refund the
registration fee for the individual registrant whose parent is selected
to coach a team made up of individual registrants. (if two parents are selected to
do it together, each will receive back half of their registration fee).
The
Arena box office will post a list for each division of the teams in the
order they register along with the contact info and team jersey color
selection so please sign up early to get your color preference and also
to ensure a spot in the division.
Should we have to limit the number of teams due to a large
response in a particular division, this list will determine the order
teams are accepted.
Youth

hour and will generally be played between 5 PM-10 PM on weeknights, 9
AM–10 PM on Saturdays, and 1 PM–9 PM on Sundays, Matches will be a 6 vs.

two teams for that night, they will play two 25-minute halves and games
