Team Placement

Once player registration is completed, coaches hold a player draft to choose players and organize co-ed teams. The draft determines how players are assigned to respective teams. Pre-existing teams will not be preserved.

We love connecting friends and families on the field! While we always do our absolute best to accommodate your preferences for coaches, teams, and player pairings, please keep in mind that we can’t guarantee every request due to roster limits. Thank you for understanding and helping us keep our leagues balanced and fun!

Coaching
We need parent volunteers to be the head coach or assistant coach for their child’s team. It is a great way to learn firsthand what YAP is all about and earn service points along the way! No previous coaching experience is required.

Practices
It is the coach's discretion to determine the team's practice day/time and then notify team members after teams are assigned.  Practice times will be based on field availability. In the registration, please indicate which days do NOT work for your child, and every effort will be made to accommodate.
