Weeknights!

·         3rd grade through 10th grade is will play in Little Legends, and all games and practices will take place from Monday-Friday.

·         11th grade and 12th grade teams will be able to participate in Little Legends if we get enough interest (at least four teams). If you have a team of juniors and seniors, or you are a junior or senior, and you are interested in playing in Little Legends please email Mark Fox at   and let him know. We would like to confirm we have enough interest before doing formal registration for an 11th and 12th grade Little Legends Division.

·         11th grade and 12th grade teams can also participate in the Adult Legends league, either instead of or in addition to any Little Legends league (assuming there is one). Adult Legends games typically occur on Sundays, although weeknight games are possible (a decision on this will be made soon).

Costs

Individual (League-Only) Cost

 $115 League Registration

   $35 one-time uniform fee (uniforms can be used in subsequent seasons)

   $30 Late Fee which will begin on June 2, 2023.

Team (League-Only) Cost

When registering a minimum of 8 players together as a team, there is a 20% discount off the standard individual registration fee. So, for 8 players registering as a team, the discounted registration cost for the Summer 2023 season is $736 instead of the full cost of $920.  Each additional player above 8 is charged at 80% of the individual registration fee ($115).  For new players to Little Legends, or returning players needing a new uniform, that option will be provided during individual registration at $23 for a jersey, and $12 for shorts (for a total uniform cost of $35). $100 Late Fee for Team Registration will begin on June 2, 2023.

Latest Anticipated Divisions

This will depend on the youth registration.  We hope to have the following divisions but may need to realign divisions based on registrations. Depending on how many teams there are, grades/divisions may be split into an A and a B league, either during the regular season or during the playoffs.

·         Grade 3/4 Division

·         Grade 5/6 Division

·         Grade 7/8 Division

·         Grades 9/10 Division

·         Grades 11-12 (If there is enough interest we will have a dedicated 11/12 Grade Division in Little Legends. Otherwise, 11/12 Grade players/teams must play in the Sunday Adult League if there is one)

These divisions may be added to, or subtracted from, depending on how many players register for each division.
