IMPORTANT PRE TBALL DIVISION INFORMATION

Pre-T for league age 4 year olds (must turn 4 by April 30, 2026) will be back this season in a different format.  Every registered pre-t player is required to have at  least one parent/guardian/family member register and participate in the Pre-T league with them. This will include completing the background check and other volunteer requirements. Out of those we will need at least 2 parents to volunteer as manager/head coach.  Participating parents must complete both parts of the registration linked below.

Part 1: Coach/Team Parent Application

Part 2: Manager/Coach/Volunteer Membership - includes background check and online abuse prevention training - all requirements must be completed 


PARENTS WE NEED YOU TO VOLUNTEER!

We are a 100% volunteer-run, non-profit organization.  We encourage all parents to get involved with the league. We depend on parent volunteers to be able to have a successful season.  Please consider applying to be a manager, assistant coach, or team parent for this season.  Almost every team will need extra help.  Manager application deadline is January 1, but we ask that you apply ASAP.  Both parts linked below must be completed by the deadline for all volunteers.

Part 1: Coach/Team Parent Application

Part 2: Manager/Coach/Volunteer Membership - includes background check and online abuse prevention training - all requirements must be completed
