Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Champion's League?

Champions League is a LTPD/Rep. only league which is an alternative to our Indoor Recreational program. The league which runs from U8 to U17 (New divisions for 2023/2024) . It also operates as a Coed program (both boys and girls play together).

The programs aim is to provide our LTPD and competitive players an opportunity to play against players of similar skill levels to encourage their development in the Champion's League, while allowing our house league players the opportunity to play against a greater ratio of recreational based players themselves in the Indoor House League.

Although our Club recognizes other LTPD/Rep. players choose to play with our Club in the off-season. Darlington players will have the first claim to available spots.
