Registration Details

$120.00 per player  

Returning players registering from October 29 to December 31 will be automatically returned to the team they were on the previous season (for example: for the Spring 2026 season, players will be returned to the team they were on in the Fall 2025 season). Returning players’ families will receive an invite through PlayMetrics to register for their team. 

Returning players who sign up during this window making a transfer request to join a new team will be placed next. Transfer requests are filled in the order in which you register, so it is important to register as early as possible. If you are uncertain about playing in the Spring but would like to return to your Fall 2025 team if you do, please sign up during the Return to Team window! If you decide not to play and let us know in writing before the February 22 deadline, you will receive a refund minus a $15 administrative fee. If you do not sign up during the Return to Team window, you will most likely NOT be able to return to your team. 

After all returning players are placed, new players will be placed on teams after December 31 based on the order in which they completed registration. Please note that players who did not play in the Fall 2025 season are not eligible for “Return to Team.” 

ALL players intending to play in the Spring recreation season should register from October 29-December 31.
