  • No member is entitled to no more than 1 vote.

  • Both parents of a player under the age of 18 have a vote as each parent is considered a member.

• Valid photo ID must match the surname and address of the player or registrant on the membership list &/or contact information.  

  • For blended families, parents or guardians with different surnames, and or legal custodial parental guardians – your information must be uploaded into Spordle in order to provide proof of membership and for verification purposes.
