We field the following divisions:

10U - 12U - 14U - 16U - 18+

Birthdate cutoff for each age group is April 30.

Example: If a player is 12 and turns 13 on May 1st, they are still eligible to play for the 12U team, as they were 12 years old as of April 30th. If a player is 12 and turns 13 on April 29th, they will have to play in the 14U division, as they were 13 as of April 30.

Hotels

Lasorda Legacy Park is a stay-to-play venue. We are required to use their third-party company to book hotels. Teams interested in participating will be sent hotel information early in the year.

Note: Long Island during the summer is a popular tourist destination. For that reason we recommend booking hotels early, even if you aren't sure if your team will be attending. Hotel deposits are refundable.
