They are available for purchase at the Civic Center. Rosters Team rosters are formed via random selection with the exception of out-of-town teams. Parents may request their child be placed on a team with one other child for legitimate carpooling purposes. Some car pooling requests may not occur. This information needs to be indicated on the registration form (no exceptions). Once teams are formed, coaches are responsible for contacting players on their rosters to set up practices and distribute information. Coaches Wahoo Parks and Recreation utilizes volunteer coaches for all youth sport programs. All head coaches are required to attend the coaches meeting or meet with the league director. Instruction on general coaching philosophy and principles as well as sport-specific information will be discussed. Schedules Playing schedules will be available mid/late August on this web page.
