Tournament Teams
EFA is again offering Tournament Teams for the 2026 season at 10U and 12U.
Players on a tournament team are expected to participate in both leagues; a tournament team does not replace a rec league team.
There were evaluations held to roster the Tournament Teams. Our goal is to have 11-13 players for each level. After evaluations, teams were rostered and parents were notified to register their child for a Tournament Team. This was an additional registration and the tournament team fee was paid at that point.
