Players are assigned by day and grade. If you sign up for the same day, friends in the same grade level will be together. |
Players can make ONE friend request but both players must have each other's name requested in order to honor this.
Multiple friend requests are not possible because of the need to make equal and fair teams. |
Friend Requests |
None Travel teams are determined based off tryout |
