The select program is still relatively new to London and is currently going into its fourth year of trials. It is expected to expand to include more programs in the future but for now is focused on Mosquito and Peewee divisions. The select program is for participants who want a bit more than house league but without the time committment of competitive. While select itself is deemed as an extension of house league, teams are a bit more competitive and there is some emphasis put onto winning. Teams are expected to participate in 1-2 tournaments during the year and be on the field 2-3 times per week. Play remains consistent with house league however, only requiring travel in and around the London area!
Select League Age divisions include:
Mosquito (D.O.B 2002-2001)
Peewee (D.O.B 2000-1999)
