WHAT TEAM WILL I BE ON? CAN I BE ON THE SAME TEAM AS MY FRIENDS?

Players are assigned to teams based upon their skill levels. Every effort will be made to "balance a team" so that there is the right blend of experienced and non-experienced players on a team. Because we try to make all teams competitive it may not be possible to honor a player's request to be on a certain team or play with a certain friend. Likewise, it may not be possible to honor requests to be on the same team that arise from car pooling needs.

WHO OFFICIATES THE GAMES?

All games are officiated by parents ,coaches, high school students and paid referees. Since this is a volunteer organization you're welcomed to particpate. We also need scorers, timers, coaches and assistant coaches. Please email me for more information Hotshotsrf@optonline.net.
