Our league focuses on and promotes the "recreation" aspect of youth sports:
- League is programmed in various aspects in an effort to promote FUN over wins and losses.
- Teams are compiled as a result of many variables, but specifically: reported skill level, current age and school.
- Friend requests are permitted on a limited level, but not guaranteed. We do not allow coaches to hand-select or request their teams, likewise requests to play for specific coaches are considered but not guaranteed.
- The provided jersey/uniform is the "participation award".
- There are no playoffs, standings, or league champions.
- We do keep score and consequently indicate who wins and losses, but this information is not published after the fact.

- Ensure all players play equal amounts of time, and have a fair opportunity to learn every position, if desired.
