  • ADULT SPORTS FAQ's 1. What Are the Age Requirements for Participation in Adult Sports Programs?
    ADULT SPORTS FAQ’s 1. What are the age requirements for participation in Adult Sports programs? Volleyball participants must be at least 16 years of age during the season in order to be eligible. Basketball, Dodgeball, Flag-Football, and Softball participants must be at least 18 years of age during the season in order to be eligible. The age difference in adult sports programs is due to the potential level of physical contact during league play. 2. Are uniforms required in team sports participation? Team uniforms are not required for our volleyball or softball leagues. Basketball, Dodgeball, and Flag-Football teams, however, must wear same color shirts with permanent numbers placed on the back. All teams provide their own equipment. Game balls are provided only in the softball program. 3. Why are the fees so high for the adult leagues? League fees are used to pay for scorekeepers, staffing, facility maintenance and equipment. Awards are also given to the top two teams in each division. Compared to other communities, our fees are still considerably affordable. YOUTH SPORTS FAQ’s 1. What are the age requirements for participation in Youth Sports programs? Children learn at various stages and must learn all the skills necessary before advancing to a higher level. It is recommended that participants sign up according to the grade or age limit assigned to a particular program. The Instructor may then recommend a participant to be moved to a more advanced level if the participant is physically and cognitively ready. 2. My child will meet the proper age limit in a couple of months.
