How Are Teams Formed?

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 know we cannot place each child with their best friend, so we do not accept team placement requests. We do make every attempt to place children on a team with at least some of their schoolmates.

Teams will be constructed using the following criteria:

what school they attend
grade level (to have equal numbers of each grade on all team)
# of years in the league

The Recreation Supervisor will be responsible for selecting all teams and all final team placement decisions.
