Team Placement: Teams will be created with the help of each division’s coaches with intentions of making them as balanced as possible. To do this, we have scheduled evaluation periods for staff AND COACHES to properly evaluate each child’s skill levels. Coaches should plan to attend the evaluations! We cannot honor requests for specific coaches or teammates. There are no guarantees for teams, coaches, or practice nights. Team placement is final. Coaches will notify parents/players of team placement/practice details between November 7 and 11.
