What to Expect
Player Eligibility:
The cutoff date for each age group is January 1st. Every participant will be required to check in at the registration table. Teams must have all players registered in SportsThread using the registration button below to expedite the certification process. Players are only permitted to play on one team for the entirety of the tournament and they must be on the team's roster. All players must have a wristband to be eligible to compete. Field generals and tournament staff will monitor this. Any players caught competing without a wristband or playing on multiple teams will be eliminated from the tournament and the team will forfeit their game. Softshell helmets and mouthguards are strongly encouraged, but not required for participation.
