2. How often do teams practice and how long do they last?
A: During our Fall and Spring seasons, teams practice 1 - 2x a week with each practice lasting anywhere from 60 minutes to 90 minutes. The specific day of the week is determined by which coach/team your athlete is a part of. During our Indoor Winter season, teams practice just once a week for 60 minutes.
3. What fields will we have practices and games at?
A: Players who register with us will have the choice of currently four regions in Loudoun County: Sterling, Ashburn/Brambleton, Leesburg, or Aldie/South Riding. Inside these regions we have practice fields. These change from season to season but you can find our general list on our field location page. During registration families will choose the region they would like to have their practices at. Games may be played at any of the league locations as needed.
4. When are games?
A: Games are played primarily on Saturdays with make-ups being held on Sundays or during the week (if possible). Playoffs are played on the final Friday and Saturday of the season with league semi-final games and Super Bowls on Sundays. You can find our season schedule page here.

7. Can we make requests to be with a specific coach or player?
A: While we LOVE to hear that our coaches are doing such a great job and parents want to be with them again, we sadly cannot honor requests to be with specific coaches. Our goal is to start each season with fair and balanced teams that grow throughout the course of the season and this is done through our player assessments and team formation. Preformed teams are not permitted.
A: The League understands that young athletes want to play with their friends or that parents want to help each other out by carpooling children to events. The league does not guarantee that any request will be honored. Requests of more than two players will not be honored and players who are unassessed, and have not participated in the league recently, will not have their requests honored. The chief concern is the creation of fair and balanced teams for the benefit of all.
8. What are the player assessments?
A: Prior to the start of every season, the league will host their player assessments. At these events the athletes will run through a series of drills while the coaches and league personnel assess them on their abilities. These assessments help the coaches and league create fair and balanced teams ensure a more enjoyable experience for everyone. These are not tryouts. Everyone that signs up, regardless of experience or skill, will make it onto a team.
A: Our 6u Division (5 & 6 year olds) and our High School (HS) divisions do not attend assessments.
9. What happens if I cannot attend the player assessments?
A: If your athlete played in our league recently, we will use their most recent assessment numbers along with other information/knowledge.
A: If your athlete is new to the league they will be randomly placed on a team at the end of the draft to ensure fairness. Requests by players who are unassessed cannot be honored.
10. What is your refund policy?
A: See our Refund Policy under the "Resources" tab.
11. Do you have a Travel Program?
A: Yes! They are the Loudoun Legends. Email Commissioner Michael if you are interested in getting information concerning our teams.
