Divisions


Playing Days Disclaimer

All House League players will be scheduled for a minimum of two (2) league events per week.
An “event” includes a game, practice, or other league-sanctioned activity scheduled by the League Scheduler.

Weather, cancellations, or other circumstances may require rescheduling. While adjustments will be made as needed,
the League will aim to maintain an average of two events per week over the season.

The days listed for each age group represent the standard days available for all league-scheduled and rescheduled events.
If coaching staff choose to add additional activities, those events may occur outside the listed days.
The League has structured the schedule to allow equitable access to additional bookings where possible.

Scheduling concerns during the season should be directed to your Division Convenor.
This schedule is a pilot and may be modified at the discretion of the SMBA Board to best serve the majority of participants.
