Pups registration is generally held during the second and third weekends in September.
Season cost for participation in Pups for children from the same family is $135
for one child, $180 for two children, and $200 for three or more children. Teams
are drafted in October and practices begin the second week following the draft.
Games begin the second weekend in November and run through February. Tournament
play for all divisions but Juniors begins immediately following the regular season.
Teams
Each team consists of ten or less players and is supervised and instructed by
one or more volunteer coaches. All players are given at least two full quarters
of playing time in each game. Junior division players are placed on teams at random.
All other divisions conduct a player draft to equalize the playing field.

Practices are held at several school gym locations throughout Crown Point. Junior
teams practice once a week for one hour. Upper division teams practice once a
week for one and one-half hours. Games are held on days each weekend as follows:
