Program (Leagues)

We expect to have the following four divisions for Fall 2019 - This might change depending on registrations in each grade or age group:
- Boys 3rd & 4th grade
- Girls 3rd & 4th grade
- Boys 5th & 6th grade
- Girls 5th & 6th grade
- Pre-assigned teams coached by volunteer WWPSA parent coaches.
- Team will play against other rec teams from local towns (i.e. East Windsor, Robbinsville, Hightstown, etc)
- Special team/coach requests MUST BE indicated in the 'special request' field when registering. After that, there is a 6 day window prior to the start of the season to make special requests to the respective league manager. After that, rosters are locked and FINAL.
- Players, except in the case of injury, will play at least 50% of any game they attend.
- Games are played every Saturday starting on September 7, 2019 and ending on November 9, 2019. Games are played on Saturdays between 9 am (earliest start time) and 1 pm (latest end time) . Note: Some weeks your games will start at 9 am and other weeks they will start at 11 am. It is highly unlikely that we can place a player on a team that plays all of its games at the same time for the entire season.
- HOME games will be played at Conover Field in West Windsor Twp, NJ.
- AWAY game date, time, location will be negotiated with the opponent but we will likely always be Saturday.
- Teams play other teams within leagues based on gender and school grade.

Volunteering and Volunteer Bond
|
WWPSA is a volunteer run organization that relies on volunteers to run its programs and maintain fields. To encourage volunteering, WWPSA charges one $50 volunteer bond per youth player (a maximum of one $50 bond per family) per seasonal year (July through June).
The bond is automatically added to the cost of registration for the first youth player registered by a family for the seasonal year. The bond will be refunded / credited to the family's account after someone in the family fulfills a volunteer shift of at least 3 hours. Many volunteer opportunities are announced throughout the year that will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis. All you need to do is sign-up for an opportunity, show up, sign-in (as proof of volunteering) and do your part.
Note: You will forfeit your Volunteer Bond and those funds will be returned to the WWPSA General Fund, if:
- You do not complete your obligation by the end of June
- Sign up and do not show so please make sure you can commit to the volunteer session before signing up
