Can I play 2 sports?
No. Sport competitions will be going on simultaneously, so playing 2 sports is not possible. You can, however, attend the practices of a second sport...or even a 3rd sport.
If I am playing 3v3 soccer or 3v3 basketball, can I choose my team?
Yes. Please indicate that on the registration form.
Why would my first choice sport not be available?
There needs to be a sufficient number of registrants per sport to make it worthwhile for both the athletes and coaches. Depending on the number of athletes that sign up for certain sports, if there are too few, then the sport will be canceled and you will compete in your second choice. If this happens to your second choice sport as well, you will compete in your third choice sport.

Yes. Please contact Jodi if you’d like to make a tax deductible donation.
Can I participate if I can only make it to some of the practices and socials?
Yes. Come to what you want and can.

Definitely. Join in on whatever you can attend and just let us know if you won’t be there on competition day.
