When: Youth teams (ages 7-12) practice one weekday evening per week and play one game per week on Saturdays.  Teen teams (ages 13-17) practice weeknights and play games weeknights. Participants will be assigned to a Monday-Friday practice at a specific time and location.  This will be the same practice time and location for the whole season unless something changes.  Special requests for certain days will be accommodated as possible.

Locations: Games and practices are played on gyms around the Near West side (churches, schools, community organizations).

Equipment:  Participants receive a team t-shirt. Tennis shoes are required for all participants.  Balls and other equipment are provided by Near West Recreation. 

Cost: $50 per child. Need-based financial assistance is available.
