Leagues/Competition/Team Assignments

8U/10U/12U/15U/18U will all play games in the Anne Arundel County Co-op among other Rec-level teams.  Players will be assigned: first based on coach or friend request; second based on school and address; third age/experience to fill out rosters.  Depending on the number of players and teams, an evaluation will be offered to disperse talent equally among teams.

Typically teams will practice twice per week.  In the Fall, games start the Sunday after Labor Day through the first weekend of November, with on game a week on Sundays.  In the Spring, games are typically on Saturdays and on weeknight later in the season.  Games start in early April and run through Mid-June, including playoffs for each age level.
