Dual Roster/ Split Season Explanation

Girls on the 8U or 10U teams and Boys on the 12U or 14U teams will be dual rostered which allows the 8U/10U Girls or 12U/14U Boys to play in their local association on their coed 8U Mite, coed 10U Squirt, 12U Pee Wee, or 14U Bantam teams. Their home association 8U Coed, 10U Coed, 12U, or 14U team will be their primary team.
The Girls 8U and 10U teams and Boys 12U and 14U team are considered split season teams with most of the games, tournaments, and practices happening before or after the normal regular winter season of the coed teams.
These teams (8U Girls, 10U Girls, 12U Boys, & 14U Boys) play a limited schedule with a few tournaments and approximately one to two skills sessions/ practices a month.
The 8U & 10U Girls split season teams gives them the opportunity to connect with other female players in the area and gain exposure to the girls’ game while having fun. These teams generally play at least 3 Girls Tournaments and have some other games scheduled.
