RECREATION - WINTER

2024-25 WINTER LEAGUE: PreK - 4th Grade

The Tonka United Recreation program moves indoors for Winter League. Rec Winter League provides players the opportunity to develop life skills and physical skills in a game-based, less competitive atmosphere. The focus is on fun, participation, inclusion, and building community. Leagues are formed based on grade in school and gender. The winter playing season runs for 6 weeks in January and February 2025. All teams are coached by parent volunteers. There are no team practices scheduled, just games, but Tonka United offers Tonka Juniors classes and Total Technical skills trainings throughout each game season.

Team Formation

During the registration process, you may designate one friend with whom your child would like to play. During team formation, we will honor only one mutual friend request. This means that the friend must request your child as well in order for that request to be honored. For example, Sarah requests to be placed on a team with Anne, and Anne requests to be placed on a team with Sarah.


Beyond the friend request, we will also try to place players on a team with at least some players from their school or neighborhood. However, registration numbers and the number of players from each school dictate final team formation.


Please note that late registrations, or players invited from the waitlist, are NOT guaranteed mutual friend, team coach, or team requests.
