Games -
The league schedule is complete - coaches will give this information. It can be viewed any time on the league website - mmpfl.com 
Physicals -
You MUST bring a copy of a current physical dated on or after April 15th 2024, to the first day of practice. Your player will not practice until we receive their physical - no exceptions. If possible, please make a copy of the physical. The past few years we have had parents ask for their physical back for another sport. Giving us a copy of the original eliminates this issue.
