What equipment is needed?

All players must have a helmet with cage or visor, shin guards, and gloves.  Elbow pads are required for penguin and chipmunk, and strongly recommended for all other age groups.

What are the different age divisions?

Age divisions are broken down as follows:

Chipmunk - Ages 4-6 
Penguin - Ages 7-9 
Beaver - Ages 10-12
Cadet - Ages 13-15
Freshman - Ages 16-19

The division you are in is determined by the age the player is on January 1st of each calendar year.  For example if a player turns 13 on January 2nd they would still be in the Beaver Division because they were still 12 on January 1st.
