Coaches Listing Release Date and Time
The listing will be sent out on April 21at 10:00am at which time coaches can begin scheduling
their season.
 
Scheduling Process
The Head Coach’s Name from the registration form will be the first name listed for the team and
will be deemed the primary contact for scheduling purposes. The Assistant Coach’s Name is the
second name listed. If you need to change, please let us know by end of day Friday so that we
can adjust the listing. Teams will begin scheduling Sunday morning. We advise teams not to wait
until later in the day to schedule as it may become more challenging in getting all the games you
want. Scheduling is done by coaches working together and contacting each other via email, text
or phone. Have your dates mapped out for availability prior to scheduling for efficiency when
you start the process at 10:00 am.
 
Season Start and End Date
The season starts any time after April 21 when your team is ready to play. The playoff cutoff
date is July 21, though teams may continue to schedule games and play until the end of the
month.

change at the end of the season. There will be separate playoffs for each age division. You will

based on the Overall winning percentage.
