We have a Summer season that is May - August and a Winter season that is November - February.
We accept individual registration only. We do not accept team registration.
Jersey and practice times are included with the registration fee.
A majority of the games will be played in The Colony. There is a chance for us to interleague with certain divisions in order for those divisions to make. In this case, the games might not be in The Colony.
Boys and girls ages 5-12 years old are eligible to participate in the league. Age qualification is determined by age on 9/1 of the current school year.
Yes, we do offer financial assistance for our youth leagues. We determine financial assistance by the number of people in your household and income on your most recent tax return. For more information regarding financial assistance please email playtcsports@thecolonytx.gov.
When registering you will be able to submit requests and information that we go off of.
There are a few exceptions for a participant to play up. The following exceptions are allowed:
For any of these exceptions you would have to register over the phone with an athletics staff member. You would NOT be able to register online.
No, once rosters are made we do not make changes to rosters. There is no exception to this policy and all requests will be denied.
We require volunteer coaches for all of our youth leagues. This is due to us being a recreational league and in order to keep the registration price down for participants. If we hired coaches the registration fee would drastically increase.
All of our leagues rely on volunteer coaches due to this there is a chance that we do not have enough volunteers by the start of the season. If this is the case, we will send out emails to the team to find a volunteer and have a parent meeting. We do not offer refunds for teams without coaches at the beginning of the season.
For the winter season each team will receive two 45 minute to 1 hour practices a week. For the summer season each team will receive one 45 minute to 1 hour practice a week. These practice times are set by the volunteer coach at the coaches meeting prior to the season.
Due to gym space we only provide two practices per team a week. We only have one city gym and we utilize schools for extra practices on top of that.
Practices will be at local schools or the Recreation Center depending on availability.
Games are located at local schools or the Recreation Center depending on availability. You can see your game location on the game schedule.
