Age Determining Date

Current grade for 2020-2021 (September 15, 2020 age determining date) school year will be used to determine the grade for participation.  Athletes should check with their school’s athletic director concerning participation. Iowa Games cannot be held accountable for determining an athlete’s eligibility.

Awards

Each division will initially be capped at 4 teams to limit the number of teams and spectators (division sizes may be adjusted based on entries).

If your division is full, please contact Kylie Brandt at kylie.brandt@iowagames.org or call 888-777-8881 ext 706. If we have enough teams on the waitlist, we will add more.

7th & 8th Grade will offer a recreation and competitive division.  The intent is to give teams the opportunity to compete against teams of similar skill levels across the state:

Recreation Division (7th & 8th Grade): This division is for park & rec teams, YW/YMCA teams, etc., not for the all-star or select teams.

Competitive Division (7th & 8th Grade):  This division is for the all-star, select or elite teams.

*Iowa Games staff reserves the right to combine divisions (competitive & recreation) if there are not enough teams in each level.

Schedules & Results will be available through the Iowa Games app on your smartphone.

A copy of the schedule will be posted here when available.
