I just registered for the upcoming season, what happens next?

You will receive a confirmation from the league. You should hear from the league or coach at least 3 weeks prior to the start of the season advising you of practice location, date, and time.

DVISIONS:

Pre-K (3-4 year olds), TK/Kindergarten, 1st - 2nd Grade, 3rd - 4th Grade, 5th - 6th Grade, 7th - 8th Grade. Kids can also “play up” a division (within reason, pending league approval) to play with friends. A child can NOT “play down” no matter the circumstance. Divisions are determined by grade/age and not by size. *Please note that the age and/or grade may be confirmed by the league at the Association discretion and refunds will not be provided for this disqualification from play due to falsified information.

How are players placed on a team?

Friend requests and Coach requests (every effort will be given to accommodate your request but REQUEST ARE NOT GUARANTEED). The remaining players will be placed on a team according to school affiliations, geographic location or randomly placed.

COACH OR FRIEND REQUESTS:

If your child wishes to be on a specific coach or friend, please mention it in the "Coach or Friend" requests section on the registration form. Please note: once teams have been formed we will not be able to rearrange players to accommodate any late request.

ROSTERS:

Rosters will be locked a few days after registration ends. Teams are selected by the league and generally carry between 8-10 kids, subject to the coach’s discretion, and number enrolled. Smaller teams are preferred, but with kids playing multiple sports, teams need to make sure they can afford to miss a player or two.

JERESYS:

SCHEDULE:

Games are on Friday evenings at 5:00pm and 5:45pm for PreK and TK/Kinder; 5:00pm and 6:20pm for 1st - 8th Grade. Teams begin practicing in March.The season schedule will be posted online once field space is completely confirmed, which unfortunately isn’t generally until a week or so before the season starts.

WEATHER:

Will games still be played if it rains -- hard? In most cases, games will still be played during light rain. If it begins to rain "hard", the league may deem it a safety concern, and may cancel the game(s). When in doubt, feel free to contact us at (562) 744-3560. 

If a game is canceled due to weather or other unforeseeable circumstances, all efforts will be made to reschedule that game. However, due to time restraints and/or field usage conflicts, some games may not be made up.  It will be the decision of the League Administration when and if the games are made up. Special circumstances may be taken into consideration.

PRACTICE:

Generally, teams practice once a week, for 1 to 2 hours – depending on the team, age group and coach. Location will be selected by the coach based on participant location. Teams will start practicing in early March.

GAME LOCATION / TIMES:

Games are played at Field of Dreams 501 Westmont Dr., San Pedro, CA 90731

Team Sponsorship:

Our league does not require candy/raffles/car washes as some leagues; instead, we require a company Sponsorship to help offset the costs to parents. The registration fees for PICK6 does not cover all of the costs to participate, and this is where the Team Sponsorship picks up. Many employers participate in local sponsorships, so if any additional information is requested for PICK6, feel free to contact us at: [email protected].
All Sponsorships to the league are non-refundable.

What is the Team Sponsorship used for?

Items like team medals/trophies, playoff/championship fees and equipment incidentals are purchased with Sponsorship monies, so these funds are critical to the performance of the league. This fee DOES NOT cover the jerseys.

How much is the Team Sponsorship?

Currently, each team (not player) has a minimum $150 Sponsorship requirement. As compared to other local leagues, our requirement is significantly lower. Some leagues require a $250+ per team sponsorship. Teams will not be issued jerseys until the sponsorship form is completed and all sponsorship money turned in.

How does my team go about getting this Team Sponsorship?

Gaining sponsorship can be as easy as visiting a local establishment that you frequent, and asking them to fund your teams’ requirement. Some parents work at companies that also sponsor; please check with your Human Resources department. Generally speaking, companies like sponsorships because they receive a tax deduction for giving them. It is also a good way to keep costs down, and free up time for busy families from having to pay a higher registration fee, or doing candy/raffle sales. If at anytime, an establishment needs something in written form about PICK6, please contact us at: [email protected].

Can I "buy-out" of the Team Sponsorship?

If your team does not want to get the Team Sponsorship, your team can unanimously decide to buy-out. The requirement must be equally divided among parents, and paid by the due date -- check with your coach for this date. Remember, everyone on your team must agree to this.

Photos:

I know some leagues will have a photographer come out to take photos/video for marketing purposes, is this the case with your league?  Yes, from time to time we will have a company send out a photographer to take photos and/or video tape our league for marketing purposes.
