Coyotes winter registration is open right now for the 2027 season. Winter runs January 10 to March 7, and the Saturday 3 on 3 groups run January 9 to March 6. Winter divisions close when they fill, so popular grades can sell out before the season starts.

My child has never played. Where should they start?
Ages 3 to 5 start in Micro Ballers. For Grades 1 to 9 the 3 on 3 league is the best first season, because every session is skill development first, then 3v3 games.
