For the Fall 2025 season, families have the flexibility to register their child at either the level they played in Spring 2025 or the level they are expected to play in Spring 2026. This decision is left to parental discretion, recognizing that every player develops at their own pace.
Some players may benefit from another season at their current level to build confidence, sharpen skills, or simply enjoy the game in a familiar setting. Others may be ready for the challenge of moving up and competing with older or more advanced peers. When deciding, we encourage parents to consider not just age, but also their child’s emotional readiness, physical development, and overall enjoyment of the sport.
That said, all Travel players are required to register at the level they will play in the upcoming Spring 2026 season. This ensures consistency, fairness, and appropriate competition across divisions.
We’ve observed that when advanced players remain at lower levels, it can create imbalance—particularly in younger divisions. Our goal is to support each player’s growth in a way that’s both fun and developmentally appropriate, while maintaining a positive and competitive experience for all.
If you’re unsure about the best placement for your child, please don’t hesitate to contact the Director of Registration at
