FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Why is the registration deadline May 24, but the All-League practice May 3?
We would like to see all players register before the All-League practice on May 3. If all players register before May 3 and attend the All-League practice we can do a better job of dividing the teams evenly. May 24 is intended to be a hard cut-off for registrations. It will be very difficult to squeeze a player onto a team after May 24.
What team am I on?
Teams will be chosen for all three age groups by May 11. Coaches will attempt to contact their players by May 18. If you haven’t been contacted by a coach by May 18, please see DCSaints.com for rosters or call the commissioner of your age group for more information.
How are the teams chosen?
1 st and 2 nd Grade: Players are randomly placed on a team.
3 rd & 4 th Grade: Coaches observe player skills at the all-league practice, and at a later meeting attempt to divide the players evenly. The coaches are then randomly assigned a team.
5 th & 6 th Grade: Same as 3 rd & 4 th.
When are practices?
The first practice for 3 rd, 4 th, 5 th, and 6 th grades is the all-league practice on May 3 (see above). All 3 rd, 4 th, 5 th, and 6 th grade players are encouraged to attend.
____________________________________________________________________
During the season, coaches determine practice times and locations. Job, etc. responsibilities vary from coach to coach, so each coach schedules practices according to their availability, and field availability. The coaches are requested to conduct at least one practice per week
