Open to Teams & Free Agents. We strive for competitive parity. Our unique Emerging & Master's structure enables us to schedule the most appropriate match-ups between Teams.

Our Emerging & Masters 7th & 8th Grade League has room for 12 TOTAL Teams. How many of each we take is based on Advanced Registrations, so don't delay.

NYSPHSAA uses 4 Classes and multiple Leagues to try and create competitive parity. Unfortunately, we don't have that flexibility, so we try to accomplish it through 2 Divisions:

Masters: These Teams can be (but not exclusively) comprised of mostly 8th graders or from established programs that have a sustained history of success.  

Emerging: These Teams can be (but no exclusively) compromised of 7th graders or from programs that are up and coming/emerging.

In the spirit of establishing the most competitive match-ups possible, House of Sports reserves the right to ensure Teams are properly registered.
