Program FactsDivisions Based on Grade: Following Colorado school age guidelines, PR&CS division break down is based on October 1, 2015. Parents will register their child based on the grade they are in. For BOTH Sports: Players may not waive into the program.

Player Requests: Although we can not guarantee your child is going to play with his or her friend; PR&CS will make every effort to honor requests. Make sure both children are in the same division, select the same practice location, and write the other child’s name on the registration form.

Practice Sites: Participants register for a practice loca-tion. Practice sites differ from game sites. Your coach will call you to inform you of the time and date of your first practice. Coaches determine practice days and times; and may choose to move practices to a park within a two-mile radius.
