Q: My child was born in 2012, should I register them for U13 or U14?
A: We expect most athletes will register to try out for U13 if they are born in 2012. However, they may choose to try out for U14 instead. Parents can choose which league they register their child for. Tryouts will schedule U14 before U13, so if those players born In 2012 do not make U14, they can try out for U13 instead. Once teams are selected we will have a combined U13/14 city league.
