SAC HC has three levels of recreational play
- A level (tryout-based);
- B level (district-based) teams; and
- High School (district-based).
Registration is available for fall/spring or spring only play.
Team placement is based on the player’s age using a fiscal year beginning August 1 and ending July 31st. Thus, a child born on August 15, 1998 is considered a U-10 (under 10) in seasonal year 2008-2009 and a child born August 15, 2000 is considered a U-8 for the same period. Consult Age Chart for age group of play.
The Recreational Program is administered by a Recreational Program Coordinator and Age Group Coordinators (e.g., U-7, U-8).
