Know Before You Register

• Eligibility
  • Teams that win State Cup will be eligible to apply for a spot in Desert Conference. If the State Cup champion does not accept the spot in DC, the Finalist or the Premier Bracket 1st/2nd place teams may be considered if an application was turned in for the spot.
• Commitment
  • Any team looking to participate in the Desert Conference must understand the level of commitment it takes to participate in a League that stretches across 5 different state associations. All teams understand that this is a multi-state league and that teams may travel hundreds of miles to participate in conference games. Teams understand that they may not play any true “home” games. A limited number of teams are accepted into the Desert Conference, so it is important that each team makes the commitment to travel BEFORE applying to the conference. Sunday play is required.
