The 4CITY “Rookie" League is a developmental program, specifically designed for our youngest players in Kindergarten through 2nd grade (and newbie third graders). It is a co-ed program, where kids are grouped by skill level as opposed to gender or grade level. The game format is competitive and fun, and will prepare players for playing in 4CITY's league and club programs (which start in the third grade).
*REGISTRATION OPENS OCTOBER 17TH FOR RETURNING FAMILIES, OCTOBER 18TH for general public

Game slots will be at 1:30, 2:00, 2:30 and 3:00 pm with special slots reserved for Kindergartener only, girls only, and "L3" advanced games.

JERSEY CREDIT: To reduce jersey waste, we are trying something new this season. If you don't have a Rookie League jersey from the fall session, your registration fee includes the cost of a new jersey. However, if you still have a jersey from fall Rookie League and opt not to receive a new jersey for the Winter, you will instead get a $35 credit to use towards a future 4CITY program. You will be asked to indicate your preference when registering. IMPORTANT: It is critical that every player has a 2023-24 Rookie League jersey at each clinic, as we use the numbers for check-in and player identification/safety.
