    -- There are NO LATE REGISTRATION & NO REFUNDS. Registration will close April 1st. FINAL rosters are sent to the schools April 2, 2026. In the interest of safety, we do NOT make changes to the rosters as it adds confusion during the very hectic school dismissal time.

Please help us spread the word about registration and the FIRM deadline!
