Spring registration opens December 1st, and closes February 25th for Indiana and March 3rd for Kentucky. After the registration deadline, late registration is available, but based upon availability and is not guaranteed. Once registration is full we will build a waitlist and fill openings from the waitlist on a first come - first served basis. A $10.00 increase in registration will apply and you will be placed on any team that has openings in your grade division. Buddy requests are less likely to be met during late registration, so please don't wait until the last minute if your child is wanting to play with some of their friends!
