This is the very best time to sign up for the next league. Not only does it ensure the sports department has the time it needs to manage all the many moving parts needed to run a successful sports league, but it also SAVES YOU MONEY. During this period the sports department finds and clears volunteer coaches, completes schedules, places kids on teams, forms new teams, completes jersey orders and distribution, and connects with parents and coaches. Overall signing up earlier makes the program run smoothly. This is also a great time for parents and coaches to reach out to past players and to ask all players to sign up early.
Practice typically begins 2 weeks before the first game.
