Each Saturday in December, the league invites prominent High School coaches to conduct FREE workouts for kids. The workouts are instructional and fundamentally based and thus leads to a higher quality of play when the.... league begins.
Once teams are chosen, the action then heats up each Saturday 11:30am - 2:00pm. Teams play a 10-12 game schedule, and trades are allowed for the first 5 games. Every team makes the play-offs with the first and second place teams receiving trophies.
