This new affiliation gives us many benefits, including:

• Age, Weight and Experience-based team segmentations that provide more opportunities to better match kids with a team that fits their particular situation
• Scheduling that matches teams with “like” organizations and players’ skill levels and experience to ensure competitive games
• Minimum play requirements that ensure that everyone has a chance to participate, contribute and enjoy the game
• Scholastic requirements that link academics to participation and encourage kids to do better in school
• Greater local and national resources for our kids and coaches
• The chance to move to regional playoffs and even national championships
• A more “localized” game schedule and less travel for away games then in the past
