Boys U12 to U19 Intramural Program

Boys U12-U19 Intramural Program Introduction

The Intramural Teams in this age group play "out-of-house." Hempfield teams play other intramural teams within Lancaster County. The Intramural Coordinators attempt to make the intramural teams competitive within each age group. The composition of teams may be revised after the fall season, depending on the number of players who sign up and ability of those players. Individual skills are still taught. However, the emphasis on team play will be addressed as players progress through these age groupings.
