The purpose of this league is to promote community, competition, health, and fun in a structured recreational setting. While the league is competitive, it is considered non- contact. Officials have full discretion to determine when contact warrants a penalty. Rules may be adjusted by the league director at any time to improve the quality or safety of play.
