Our Spring Season is our biggest season of the year. In previous years we have had 300-350 girls play in our Spring Season. We have extended our age limits to include girls up to 18 years of age. We are expecting this year to be bigger and better than previous years!

Due to the growth of our league and to accommodate to our older players, who often play for their school teams, we have adopted a split schedule this Spring Season. Our younger players will begin their season in March and our older players will not begin their season until mid April. All teams will still play the same amount of games, just at a different time frame. We hope by implementing this type of schedule this year we will be able to offer more the opportunity to play.
