COACHES & PRACTICE

Our league is a volunteer league, so all teams will need a volunteer coach. The league will have voluntary coach clinics before the season starts and can provide instructional help throughout the season if needed. Coaches set their own practice schedule but have to secure practice locations other than SFXAA fields as we do not have enough space and time slots to accommodate all divisions. Most teams practice at a centrally located park like Butler/Royal Palm Park and Granada Park but other locations may be utilized based on coach discretion. Coaches register the same way as players do but do not have to pay a fee.

TEAM FORMATION

The league will make its best effort to accommodate team requests but no guarantees are given. If no request is provided though the registration process we will place players where needed to form complete teams.
