As a general rule, teams are placed into male and female divisions according to pre-established categories, as follows:

Any co-ed teams registered to play will automatically be schedule in a male division based on criteria listed above.

To ensure proper placement of team, all four (4) players must fit within the established category. If a player does not meet the age requirement, your team will be placed into the category of the oldest player with the exception of the 36+ division.
SPECIAL NOTE: Every effort will be made to place teams into these age categories. We will change or combine age categories only when not enough teams have entered to complete a division. In a few instances, we may have to create co-ed within these age categories.
1. We are not responsible for players violating state high school or NCAA rules.
