*League Age Determination

**SLL is urgently seeking team managers for this division.  If you feel you can offer knowledge and structure for this age group please indicate when registering. Our league offers a coaching coordinator to assist with lessons and drills to make practice fun but educational.  A league official will reach out to discuss in more detail when you register to volunteer.  The more volunteers we have, the more these players will benefit.
