Grades 2/3:  We anticipate having a team per grade but if participants are lower, we will combine the two grades. If we are able to form two teams/grades, we would like to have a head coach and 2 assistant coaches for each team/grade.  If you are interested in volunteering your time, please contact me at .  If we cannot identify enough coaches, then trainers may need to be used to further support these teams at an incremental cost.  

Grades 5 and 6: Due to anticipated lower numbers of 5th grade participants, we will be offering a joint 5th and 6th Grade team . This team will play a 6th Grade schedule, similar to past years when grades do not have enough participants to fill a team.

Grade 7: These grades are still in need of coaches. We need a head coach and 1 assistant coach. If you are interested in volunteering your time, please contact me at .  If we cannot identify enough coaches, then trainers may need to be used to further support these teams at an incremental cost.  

Grade 8: Due to anticipated lower numbers of 8th grade participants, we will be combining our participants with New Providence. This will be a joint team between Berkeley Heights, Mountainside and New Providence. The team will be under the New Providence banner since they will have a great number of participants. The team will be coached by both Berkeley Heights and New Providence parents. Practices and games will be split between Snyder Field and Lieder Field in New Providence. Registration will continue to go through BHPAL. If you have further questions regarding the combination team, please reach out to me at .
