My receipt says that I will have my practices at a certain field. How do I change that?: Our system is set-up to reserve facilities for every “Activity Number.” Your child’s activity number, whether it be the 6-8 division, the 9-10 division, or the 11-13 division, is associated with a field in our system when you register, but not for practices or games. At this time, coaches decide when and where practices will be based on our field availability, and they are consistent throughout the season. Your coach will let you know about your practice day, time, and location after registration is closed and you have been assigned to a team. The majority of coaches do not change their practice day, time, or location in-between seasons, but they do have the ability to do so.

1. My receipt says that I will have my practices at a certain field. How do I change that?: Our system is set-up to reserve facilities for every “Activity Number.” Your child’s activity number, whether it be the 6-8 division, the 9-10 division, or the 11-13 division, is associated with a field in our system when you register, but not for practices or games. At this time, coaches decide when and where practices will be based on our field availability, and they are consistent throughout the season. Your coach will let you know about your practice day, time, and location after registration is closed and you have been assigned to a team. The majority of coaches do not change their practice day, time, or location in-between seasons, but they do have the ability to do so.

2. I would like my daughter to move up an age group. How can I do that?: Starting in the fall 2019 season, the only exception that will be made for players to register for an older division will be if their pre-existing team decides to move up, and they want to stay with their team. We are not able to allow individuals to play up based off of size or skill level, but will make exceptions if a player wants to stay with their team.

3. I would like my daughter to be on a different team than the one she was on last year? How do I make sure that happens?: If your schedule has changed, or you were dissatisfied with the team you were on in the previous season, you will certainly need to let the league coordinator know. If your schedule has changed, simply adjust that information when registering. If you were dissatisfied with the previous coach or team, please contact the league coordinator immediately and inform him/her of any issues. If you have any issues during the season, please contact the league coordinator immediately.

4. When does my child get her uniform?: Uniforms are handed out to the coaches during the first few practices of the fall season. Please be sure to update your child’s shirt size every time you register. If you are registering your daughter to play in DGSL for the first time in the spring, your coach will give you a shirt at one of your first practices.

5. I have more than one daughter playing in DGSL. How do I make sure my daughters all practice on the same day at the same location?: The league coordinator attempts each season to create rosters based off of every registrant’s requests. There will be situations in which siblings, friends, classmates, or neighbors cannot be placed on the same team, practice night or location, but the coordinator takes all requests into account and will manage the rosters accordingly. When registering, please indicate any preference or request at the time of registration. If a certain “request” is absolutely necessary, then please indicate that as well. If these requests/needs are unable to be met, the league coordinator will contact you after registration is complete.
