  • Teams typically practice once a week, but the volunteer coaches set that schedule with team.
  • For our Peewee Division, participants are primarily in pre-k and kindergarten. Teams in this league will be co-ed.
  • For our Miniball Division, participants are primarily in first and second grade. Teams in this league will be co-ed.
  • For all other recreation participants, players are separated based on their current grade level and gender.

How Recreation Teams are Formed:

  • We make sure that teams have a balanced number of players from each grade where applicable.
  • We make sure that teams have a balanced number of players of each gender where applicable.
  • We make sure no one team is comprised of all travel players.
  • We do not keep entire teams together from one year to the next.

Many children often play on teams with no, or only one friend when they start the season. It is good for them. It encourages new connections and allows them to make new friends. When you sign children up for swim class, track, day camp, art class, dance class, music lessons, lacrosse, or basketball, they make new friends. We believe that Bordentown FC has found a great balance. We believe we are helping them make new connections and grow as confident individuals.

We hope this helps you understand our guidelines and process for team formations.
