Registration Questions
Are all games played in The Colony?
A majority of the games will be played in The Colony. There is a chance for us to interleague with certain divisions in order for those divisions to make. In this case, the games might not be in The Colony.
How many practices does each team get?
For the winter season each team will receive two 45 minute to 1 hour practices a week. For the summer season each team will receive one 45 minute to 1 hour practice a week. These practice times are set by the volunteer coach at the coaches meeting prior to the season.
Why do we only get one to two practices?
Due to gym space we only provide two practices per team a week. We only have one city gym and we utilize schools for extra practices which we pay for usage.
Where are practices located?
Practices will be at local schools or the Recreation Center depending on availability.

Games are located at local schools or the Recreation Center depending on availability. You can see your game location on the game schedule.
