With the growth of our league over the last several years, the Executive Board and Fall 2024 Planning Committee are working hard to implement changes to benefit our players and families, including:

  • More girls-only opportunities
  • More single-age divisions
  • Expansion to games at the newly renovated Riverside Park fields
  • Adjustments to field sizes and game formats
  • Expanded group practice offerings

Of course, we’ll continue with the things we’ve found make our league great: 

  • Emphasis on FUN and community-building
  • Promoting player development, not just wins and losses
  • Homegrown referee program
  • All-volunteer organization
