HOW IT WORKS

• There is a draft for new registrants and all kids moving up to a new age category (under 8's are exempt from the draft).

Proof of age is required for all new registrants (a copy of child's birth certificate).

• Maximum of 10 children per team. 
• All children must play at least 2 quarters, every game.  
• The under 8's games consist of a skills section and a playing section.
