13TH ANNUAL
CALIFORNIA KICKOFF

January 13 & 14, 2007: U18, U14 and U12 Divisions

January 14 & 15, 2007: U16 Division

*Due to the large number of entrants and the limits of a two day format the 2007 California Kickoff will offer an Open Division of 64 teams and a Club Division for as many teams as possible in the 18's, 16's and 14's age groups.  The 12's will be an Open Division only.

Entry into the Open Division: Teams may select the Club Division, but acceptance into the Open Division will be based on seeding criteria.  While season beginning seeding based on last year's results is imperfect it will be the initial seeding criteria used.

New programs of teams with name changes will have an opportunity to submit seeding information that may affect their placement into the Open Division.  Teams playing out of their age group will have to show compelling justification for being included in the Open Division of another age group.

Entry Fee: $375 per team (payable to California Kickoff)

Entry Deadline: December 11, 2006 (enter early as space is limited)
