What To Expect

Over the course of this season, we will be sending you emails and texts containing important information. Due to this being a mass email system, please add us to your safe-senders list and frequently check your filters to confirm messages aren't directed to your junk mail, spam, or clutter.

Communication is key to ensure the success of the league experience for everyone. Included are answers to some common questions you may have. If you have any questions throughout the season, you can email us at [email protected] or call us at  309-516-0100.

Spring registration opens November 5th, 2024 and closes March 1st, 2024.  After the registration deadline, late registration is based on availability and is not guaranteed. Once registration is full, we will build a waitlist and fill openings from the waitlist on a first come first serve basis. A $25.00 increase in registration will apply and you will be placed on any team that has openings in your grade/age division. Buddy requests are less likely to be met during late registration.
