Commonly asked questions about the Youth League:

1) Are the league team players equally divided?

We will be evaluating players at tryouts and placing teams together based on age and like-scores from our evaluations.

2) What is the Premier attendance/commitment policy at the Youth League level?

Improving your skills as a player and helping your team requires you to be at practice and tournaments! We take attendance at every practice for safety reasons. If we feel that you are missing an unusual amount of practices, we will let you know. Consequently, players that show up to practice and work hard will naturally play more in games.

All practices and games are at Premier Academy

It’s a balance between putting players in a position to be successful for themselves and for the team.
