Teams and Players
Can I place my child on a team at The Courts?
The Courts does not have the ability to place players on teams, as we deal with scheduling established teams in leagues and tournaments.
How can I find a team for my child?
We do offer the ability to allow player profiles to be submitted on-line and we will keep the profiles on hand in our office when teams are looking to add additional players. On our homepage, click on the "Need a Team?" link on the left hand side and submit a profile. There are also team pages listed below that link. You may contact those teams directly.
What are age limits for leagues?
The Courts leagues are limited by grades of players, not ages or birth dates. Players may play in a league for their grade or a higher grade, but may not play in a league for a grade lower than what they are enrolled. The Courts receives numerous calls asking for players to be allowed to play down a league due to size or skill level of a player, or the fact that they are actually younger than the grade level they are playing in. The Courts does reserve the right to amend this rule, but this very rarely happens.
Can my child play on more than one team?
Players may only play on one team in a conference, but may play on multiple teams in the same session that are in different conferences. If The Courts is unaware of a player playing on two different teams and the teams are placed in the same conference, the player must choose which team he or she will play on and will not be allowed to play for the other team. During certain sessions, The Courts may waive this rule to allow a player to play on two teams, their school team and their summer team.
What kind of uniforms are required?
Teams are required to have shirts or jerseys similar in color with numbers on either front or back. The Courts does not supply uniforms for teams, but if two teams are playing each other with similar colored uniforms, The Courts will supply pennies for the teams to wear for that game.
Registration and Schedules
How do I register my team?
A team registration must be turned in prior to the registration deadline. Registrations may be made at our website, mailed in, or turned in at The Courts office.
When is our league fee due?
A deposit of at least $150 must also be received prior to the registration deadline to secure a spot in the league. A team will not be scheduled if this deposit has not been made. The remaining balance is due at your team's first game.
Do I need to fill out a roster to play in a league?
A team waiver/roster form must be filled out and turned in prior to your first game. A copy of this form may be found at our Rules and Policies page.
What day does a grade play on during a league?
To find a list of days that each grade plays, go to the Upcoming Leagues page then click on the Scheduled Days of Play for the desired league.
Where can I find my team's schedule?
Schedules can be found on our Schedules/Scoreboard page by clicking on the appropriate league that is in session. Conferences are designated by grade, ie. conferences starting with 1 are 1st grade, 2 are 2nd grade, etc., with Junior High leagues starting with 7, Junior Varsity leagues starting with 8, and Varsity leagues starting with 9.
Which conferences are recreational, intermediate, and competitive?
No definite designation is made to determine which leagues are strictly recreational or competitive. Sometimes there are multiple conference of the same level or with limited number of teams, skill levels may be combined to form one conference. Typically the greater the conference number, the more competitive the league. For example, Conference 70 would typically be more recreational than 74, but in our busy time of the year, Conferences 70, 71, and 72 may all be considered recreational leagues.
If my team is unable to play a scheduled game, can it be rescheduled?
The Courts will reserve a make-up day for games that teams request to change. Please view our Make-Up Day Policy on our Rules and Policies page.
Can I request to play at certain times and days, or not play at certain times or days?
Scheduling considerations may be asked for prior to the registration deadline. Please view our Game Scheduling Policy on our Rules and Policies page.
Can we play all of our games on the alternate days of play?
A team must be able to play a majority of its games on the primary day of play. When registering, please list the days of play that you are able to attend to better assist in scheduling. For more information on scheduling policies, please view the Game Scheduling Policy at our rules and policies page.
