Typically in the fall program, teams compete in an eight week schedule among teams from within our local district (Lower Gwynedd, Horsham, Hatboro, Abington and Plymouth for example) or tournaments beginning after Labor Day concluding at the end of October. It is also flexible with expanded rosters allowing players to participate in multiple activities. Teams are formed in August. Games begin in early September (usually the week after Labor Day).
