Q: When does the fall season start and how long does it run? When do games and practices take place?

A: In our fall in-town league, teams generally are formed in early August, then coaches begin practices later in the month. Practices can be on any day, depending on the coach. There is usually one practice a week, but that also depends on the coach. Games begin on Opening Day and go through the end of October. Generally it's one or two games per week, depending on the division.

Q: Does a player have to have played in the fall in order to participate in the spring?

A: Participation on an in-town team is not a requirement for play on a travel team. Participation in the fall is not a requirement for play in the spring.

Experience and skills are important factors considered when selecting players for travel teams.
