PRACTICES
Coaches determine practice days and times, typically holding one session per week in the afternoon or early evening. Most teams practice on Friday afternoons based on coach availability.
GAMES
Games are typically played on Saturdays, with occasional Sunday matchups (primarily for rain makeups). Start times vary each week, and the regular season schedule is announced in early September. The season includes seven games, followed by the Pele Cup.
PELE CUP
Each division concludes with the annual Pele Cup Championship, a double-elimination tournament seeded by regular season performance. A league favorite, it is played over two weekends, with games on both Saturdays and Sundays. The schedule for the Pele Cup is announced the week of it.
ROSTERS
In August / early September, teams are formed by Division Commissioners, who make every effort to balance rosters by school, grade, and ability to ensure fair and competitive play. Player teammate requests are not accommodated; however, each coaching staff may submit one request as a thank you for volunteering. Rosters are distributed in late August. This year, only three coaches are allowed per team.
