*** Volunteer buyout fee will be due at the time of registration. Once you volunteer you will be credited (refunded) that fee.
*** If a team has a non-parent coach and the coach anticipates a stipend. each parent must contribute to that stipend PRIOR to the start of the first game. (This does not apply to All Net teams which already pay an additional fee to cover additional expenses including Coach's Stipends)
*** For our Rookies Program, we will allow practices to take place during the week (where gym space is available). Practices do not have to take place on Saturday only this season.
*** All Teams will compete in the NJB Playoffs at the end of the Regular Season
