This league is for boys and girls 6-13 years old. In very rare instances, we will allow skilled 5 year olds to play in the U9 league. The league will consist of 3 divisions based on age. There will be a U9 (6-8 years old) age division, a U11 (9 & 10 years old) age division, and a U14 (11-13 years old).
Practices will be held once per week either on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday (depending on coach availability) from 5:00-6:15pm or 6:15 - 7:30 pm, starting the week of August 16th. In the registration form itself, you will get the choice to exclude one practice night. Once a team practice day is established, it will stay that same night for the season. Games will begin on Saturday, August 28th and conclude on Saturday, October 16th (7 games). Games are played on Saturdays from about 9am - 4pm. Each game will be 60 minutes long consisting of four 12 minute quarters (2 minute break after the 1st quarter, a 5 minute half-time, and a 2 minute break after the 3rd quarter). The fee for this league is $90, which includes a jersey and an "end of the season" participation gift. All games will be played at The Shepherds Church.

Team Placements
As our Sports Ministry has grown to the extent that we now have more than 3000 participants annually, the number of "same team player requests" and "specific coach requests" has reached the point that we are no longer able to accommodate all the requests due to time constraints along with our desire to attempt to create "equally skilled" teams. If siblings are participating in the same league, then we will be able to place them on the same team. Otherwise, there is no guarantee that siblings will be practicing on the same night of the week.
With that being said, as this is a ministry in which we use sports as a way to reach NEW families, we will accommodate requests to play together on the same team in which the person(s) you have invited has not previously participated in a Crossroads Sports. Due to the number of participants, we do not accommodate specific coaching requests unless the coach invited you into the league and this is the first time your child has participated in one of our leagues.
In addition to this we are unfortunately not able to honor specific week day and time practice night requests.
