Also, registration for all players will take place this evening in the Marriott Hotel in Uniondale at 7:30 pm in the back lobby on the first floor.

If players could register as a team and not by individuals it would be easier for everyone involved.  

Those players not registering tonight will need to register one hour prior to their first game  in the main tent at the fields.

Coaches you will need to pick up your coaching cards prior to your game at the fields.
