The Spring Season runs from Monday, Jan 19, 2026 through Saturday, April 25, 2026. Practices may start the week of January 19 with a goal of two per week until weekday games begin. Opening Day is Saturday, Feb 14, 2026 — a fun-filled kickoff for players and families alike! Games are played on Saturdays, with an extra weekday game added for 8U and older once the time change hits - all culminating in a round of playoffs and a championship.
