RECREATIONAL VS COMPETITIVE

We have received a number of inquiries about the difference between recreational and competitive (club) division.  Recreational games are typically Saturdays (older teams play Fridays) only, total of 8 games. Practices are 1 or 2 a week 
Competiitve teams play local teams (you might travel to Carson City/Lake Tahoe and Truckee) and may travel out of town for tournaments. Uniforms are not included in the league fee. Competitive teams typically belong to a club, there are additional club fees and some teams will hire trainers at an additional fee.  The level of play is higher than recreational.  Teams may travel to out of state tournaments and there could be as many as 3 in the fall and as many as 6 in the Spring. 
Competiitve teams practice more than once a week and could practice as many as 3 times per week in addition to games. 

Policy from NYSA

Coaches, please remember players can play up ONE age division only with prior approval from the league. NYSA does not allow players to play up TWO (2) age groups.  Please double check your roster prior to turning it in to the league.
