coaches must read!
Coaches register teams. Athletes pay individually.
Coaches are responsible for registering teams, while athletes register and pay individually. There is no fee to register a team. The registration link on this page is for coaches only and is used to create and register a team and secure a team spot. During this step, coaches will create a team name. After the team is registered, coaches will receive a private registration link to share with families so athletes can complete their individual registration, payment, and waivers.
If you are registering a league team, please be sure to include the age group in your team name (for example, Desert Hawks 12U). This helps ensure athletes select the correct team when completing their individual registration.
