Boys Spring/Summer Season
New in 2026!
- 2 sessions now offered for PreK/K! Our PreK/K program will again be a co-ed format with boys and girls in the same practices. However, we will now allow you to register for either a Tuesday or a Wednesday session. We hope this gives our younger families more flexibility in the busy summer months.
- Earlier Tryouts for 12U and 14U- and they will now be indoors! Teams will be determined at the start of the season. Evaluations will be on March 29th and March 31st at Minnetonka Dome and the True Facility.
- No 10UA team. After participating in the 10UA bracket last year, we decided that our summer YLM league isn't fully ready to support a 10UA program. In the meantime, we will create balanced 10U teams with a select team of 10U players across all teams to play in a tournament. More details to come.
- Participation in the spring GNLL League (in addition to our normal summer league, YLM)! Our teams will compete in the Spring GNLL League, with weekend games in May. This will give players meaningful game action while building momentum and confidence heading into the summer season.
- New Uniforms! Our uniform coordinators have been hard at work designing an exciting new uniform we can’t wait to share!
- Overnight Tournament in Moorehead! If there is sufficient interest, the 10U, 12U, and 14U teams may participate in a tournament in Moorhead. While we typically attend only local tournaments, this overnight event would offer a fun team-bonding experience and provide players the opportunity to compete against new teams before the summer season.
