The 16U / 19U program is run by our Area 11L. The games are played in South Orange County from Lake Forest to San Clemente. The season is broken up into a seeding phase and a standings phase. The seeding phrase determines the pool in which the team will be placed. During the standings phrase the top three teams receive medals. In addition the top two teams in the top pool move on to the Sectional Playoffs.
