*for the 2024 Season, 9 year olds may play up in the 10-12 league.  9 year old Players playing up must be mentally prepared and physically skilled enough to play in the older age group.  Players playing up need to be able to preform their skills at a higher level as to not hinder the older leagues quality of play.

·Ages 15-18 can be accommodated if there is enough interest for an older age group, however historically we usually do not have enough interest to advertise older age groups.
