Team Formation:
While we encourage a competitive spirit in all players and coaches, all league decisions are made with the best interest of the majority of children involved. We do make every attempt to place children on a team with at least some of their schoolmates. The Recreation Supervisor will be responsible for selecting all teams and all final team placement decisions. We do not guarantee any coach, team, friend or practice time requests.
Teams will be constructed using the following criteria:
- 10 children per roster max
- What school they attend
- # of boys and girls per team (while taking school into consideration)
- Having a volunteer coach from your child’s school gives the Recreation Supervisor the best opportunity to keep more children from your child’s school together.
- We do not split 1 or 2 children from their school unless requested by parents. The lowest split and is considered being with some children from your child’s school is 3 children from the same school.
