1. Can I make a special request for team placement?

Placement is based on availability. Players are placed on teams after registration closes by the league director. We cannot guarantee placement on a specific team regardless of request but will do our best to accommodate. Because this is a new league, players are placed in the unassigned/draft player pool for team placement. Special requests include: 

• Play with a sibling: Players may request to play with a sibling. 
• Bring a Friend – A U4-U6 player may request to play with a friend who is registering to play soccer. 

Placement is subject to availability and other team's roster needs. There will be no accommodations based on a player’s skill or ability and no accommodations for carpooling, team or coach. Please email any special requests with the title: "Special Requests: League name (U4-U6)"
