Leagues are coached by parent volunteers. Clinics coached by Recreation Staff are available for children who are too young to participate in league play.

Registration is held in person at the Walter D. Ehlers Community Recreation Center 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through alternating Fridays. No mail-in registration will be accepted.
