HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Registration
Registration is open for the 2022 season through League Apps. The link is available under the Registration paragraph on the home page of our website. We have added the ability to register as a program owner for multiple teams or as a single team coach. To register, you will have to initially (or what you previously created) log in creating a user name and password, thereafter the process is fairly easy. You are able to use a credit card when registering to pay for your registration fee. Please note that there is an online fee when paying using a credit card. If you do pay by check, you do not have to pay the online fee. All registration should take place online. All teams must submit a registration form. We cannot accept phone calls and e-mails as completing the registration process.

If you wish to change any information on the registration, just send an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and we will update the listing.

Scheduling
No scheduling should take place until registration is closed and the coaches listing is distributed. Be courteous to the other coaches who do follow protocol. Everyone will be notified the day and time the listing will be sent to the coach of each registered team. If you fail to follow protocol, your team and related contact information will not be listed on the coaches listing when it is distributed for scheduling.

Insurance Enrollment
For those teams/programs that are looking for insurance or want to shop and compare with what they currently have, the league is offering the opportunity for you to acquire your team’s insurance through Frazier Insurance.

Playoff Format
No changes from last spring season. We would eliminate the Rookie and Minor skill classification designations and group all of the teams under each age division. Teams can schedule and play against any team, but should not schedule and play a team more than three times if they wish to participate in the playoffs.

Seeding determination for the playoffs would be based on the Overall winning percentage. We would create a National and American division. We would take the top 16 teams (assuming that many teams opt to participate) for each age division. The top 8 teams based on Overall winning percentage would participate in the National division playoffs. The next 8 would participate in the American division playoffs. Ideally, the National division would comprise of the traditional Minor teams and those top level Rookie teams that perhaps should be classified as Minors, and the American division would be comprised of true Rookie teams.

Annual Pre-Season League Meeting
We will host a league wide meeting for all new coaches, teams and programs in late February (time and location will be announced in a future Update) to walk through how the league works, discuss rules and review the scheduling process. It is not mandatory, but recommended to help out the new coaches as they prepare for the season. In addition, the meeting is available to existing coaches if they have matters they wish to discuss with us in person.

Proposed Rule Change on Using Illegal Players
Normally, player eligibility challenges take place during the playoffs and not necessarily during the season. The proposed new rule is that if a team has been using an illegal player during the season (not league eligible), that team will forfeit their opportunity to participate in the playoffs.
