Preparations for Spring 2010 Season

All Clubs will use the SSI Spring Team Registration Form

Pre-Registration helps identify the age divisions that may have a lack of teams to form a viable division, such as the U19+ teams in the Adult League or even the U8 division.
This can apply to any division. This will help with the overall process and speed up registration and schedules
