Age Requirement:

- All League Age 9 and 10 players will be placed in this division
Uniform:
- Coaches will identify to Parent/Guardian the appropriate team jersey and hat for purchase on Squadlocker. Parents/Guardians can elect to purchase socks and pants through Squadlocker or their preferred sporting goods provider. In an effort to display cohesion on the field, please follow the direction of your coach with respect to pant and sock color.
- Players will select a number that will belong to them within their age bracket to be reserved for them throughout their seasons with M-ALL . Please do not order a jersey without verifying that their desired number is available. Orders should be placed as soon as possible once assigned to a team to ensure that they will be in for Opening Day, April 19th

Managers/Coaches Meeting: Mandatory M-ALL managers/coaches meeting is scheduled in March. The Coaching Coordinator will be in contact with all coaches.

Mandatory Evaluations: All players are required to attend player evaluations in March. Evaluations are used to evenly distribute players on teams based on their skill level. Save the date for March 15th! If you believe your child should be playing in a different division, please complete this form prior to evaluations:
https://forms.gle/PHUQaRX2NF3Ex5Ss8. After the registration period, and completion of player evaluations, we will consider your request against overall registration numbers, evaluation results, and coach feedback to determine if your request can be accommodated. True "league age" players must be placed in their respective divisions before consideration of moving players up. You will be notified by email of the outcome of your request. Once your player has been placed on a team, they will remain on that team for the entirety of the current season.
Schedule: Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, which will consist of a combination of games and practices. Games will be played against other M-ALL teams and other local leagues. **Weekdays are dependent to coach and field availability and are subject to change**
