House League

Girls will be taught the game in a clinic session coordinated by long-time youth coaches and current high school players. There will be no permanent “teams” but all the girls will be taught the same skills and techniques; in the last few weeks, girls will play organized games.

All Starters participants will participate in a 45-hour clinic each Sunday and then play a game each week with their assigned team.

While all girls will be expected to play at their grade level, we understand that exceptions will need to be made in extraordinary cases. With BOARD APPROVAL, girls may play up one grade level if it best fits their abilities. For example, a 1st grader could potentially play up in Starters, a 3rd grader could potentially play in Juniors and a 5th grader could play in Seniors. Again, the only way this can happen is with board approval.

Players on the 5th and 6th grade travel players are required to play house league in order to play on Youngtimers Travel Teams.

Players on the 7th and 8th grade travel players will NOT be required to play in the house league in order to compete on the travel team at their respective grade. If a girl in 7th or 8th grade does want to play house along with travel, she can do so at a discounted rate of $125 for the season but she must be committed to her house team for all practices and games.
