  • When are the seasons and how many games can I expect to play per season?
    • SMGSL offers a Fall Season and a Spring Season.  The Fall season is meant to be more instructional and emphasizes player development over winning.  The Spring season is instructional as well but is more competitive.  The Fall season normally runs from August to mid November with approximately 12 games.  The Spring season normally runs from February to the last week of April and is approximately 14 games.  SMGSL also has a summer All-Star season that begins immediately after the Spring season concludes.  All-Star teams are selected from players that participated in the Spring season and are selected via a tryout.  Any player wishing to participate in All-Stars must play in the Spring season.
