*Extended age cut-off date (June 1) for YLM 14U league play applies to players who have not yet entered 9th grade. Players who have begun high school cannot play on a YLM 14U team regardless of age.

High School Option: In previous years, youth players have expressed interest in playing spring season with the high school; we want players and families to know that this is not standard practice, and we strongly encourage youth players remain at the youth level to develop appropriate skill and experience. All athletes should register to play at the youth level to avoid missing the youth registration deadline. In the event there is a need at the high school level and an offer to play at the high school level has been extended, a prorated refund will be issued. *If you delay registration while waiting for a commitment at the high school level, and youth registration ends, we cannot guarantee a spot with the youth program
