Q: I have a team that I coach outside of Wham; can I make a time request for games?

Because we have so many coaches that have 2 or more teams inside of Wham it is very hard to also include obstacles outside of Wham. We cannot make the schedule or make changes for anything outside of Wham.

Q: Can I coach more than 1 team?

Yes, we have many coaches that have 2 or more teams. Just know that we try our best to make accommodations for the head coaches so you will have at least 1 hour in between games. We suggest always having an assistant coach if anything comes up. It is very hard to change schedules with so may having multiple teams.

Q: How are teams formed?

We start by forming teams by coach and friend requests. After that we always try our best to keep you as close to home/school as possible. However, nothing is guaranteed, everything depends on the number of kids that sign up in your area.

Q: Can my child play up a grade?

Your child may play up a grade but never down. To make putting teams together easier, please register for the grade you would like your child to play in.

Q: Can I watch practice?

We have been asked by the schools to limit who is at the practices to the coaches and players on that team. There should always be 2 adults with the players in the gym. We ask that you please wait in your car in the parking lot.
