**In the draft leagues, teams are made based on player abilities, in an effort to ensure teams are a mix of skills. Team swapping is not permitted after the draft, so there is less flexibility with practice slots. Please include all known scheduling conflicts in your registration. Conflicts that arise after registration and before drafts (mid-February) can be submitted to hopkintonlittleleague@gmail.com.
In non-draft leagues, practice conflicts can generally be worked through, even after teams are formed.
