The summer league is our most popular season. It typically runs from mid-May until mid-August. Playoffs then run into early September. There are 2 divisions - D1 and D2. Both divisions are open to all members, but the age of the D2 players skews younger than that of D1.
Below are some action photos from this season's games. All photos by Mike Camire unless otherwise noted.
