TEAM FORMATION:

Each team should have at least 8 players and no more than 10. Coach, player and school requests will be considered in team formation so please be sure to note your requests on the registration form. We do our best to accommodate requests, but we cannot guarantee that we will be able to honor all requests.

*Preformed teams: players must register individually. Coaches should email a complete roster to Assistant Athletic Director Laney Ramirez (lramirez@waya.org) for GIRLS and Athletic Director Eric Bowers (ebowers@waya.org) for BOYS. If a preformed team is playing up, ALL players must register for the correct division.

**WAYA reserves the right to add players to or split up preformed teams if necessary (not enough or too many players).

 

CANCELLATION POLICY:
A full refund will be given to those who make a request prior to the final registration deadline of December 9th. Refunds that are requested after the final deadline must be approved by the Athletic Director (ebowers@waya.org) and will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. If approved, a $50 processing fee will be retained. 

 

CHOOSING YOUR DIVISION:
Players should be registered for their current grade level for the 2023-2024 school year. Depending on league size, some grade divisions may be combined (e.g., 5th & 6th grade play together).


PLAYING UP:
Participants with a higher skill level or experience may "play-up" in an older division with the permission of the Athletic Director, Eric Bowers (ebowers@waya.org).

 

PRACTICES: 

Practices for all divisions will be held once a week. The coaches will have the option of choosing a practice time at the coaches meeting.

FINANCIAL AID POLICY:

To obtain financial assistance, please complete WAYA's Financial Aid Request Form. With this request you must include proof of financial need in the form of a tax return or other proof of annual income.
