Age Group Coordinators: Your AGC is your resource for questions pertinent to your age group/gender. They are also responsible for coach recruitment. The full list of 2016 AGCs will be available in the spring. 

Team Formation: Teams are based on school/zone codes. Returning coaches are allowed to request  a certain number of players from their previous season, depending on age group, which includes the children of the head and assistant coaches. 

U9/U10: *4 players (including children of head and assistant coaches)

U11/U12: *5 players (including children of head and assistant coaches)

U13/U14, U15/U16, U17/U19: *6 players (including children of head and assistant coaches)

*Note: Friend Requests will be INCLUSIVE of a Coach's Player Protection request. 

Team Formation Requests: Because of the size of the Recreational Plus program the League is unable to accommodate any coach, team, practice schedule, carpool, or after school care requests. The only way to guarantee placement on a specific team is to be part of the coaching team (one head coach and two assistant coaches) or to be one of the eligible protected players from last year’s team.

School/Zone Code: Your school and address zone tells the League where your player attends school and the area in which you live. This information is used as one component of Recreational Plus team formation so it is important that it is accurate.

Coach Background Checks: All new Mustang head and assistant coaches must complete a fingerprint background check. Click here for a description of the background check process.
