Team Formation

Formation of teams is dependent on the number of volunteer coaches. Players are placed on a first come first serve basis. When a team is full, players will be placed on a wait list until a space becomes available.

Teams are formed by placing registered players of the same age group on teams using the following criteria:

  1. U6 & U8 age group teams are formed by the Team Formation Committee
  2. U10 & U12 age groups teams are formed by player assessments and draft (selection by coaches).
  3. U14 - U19 age groups are formed by assessments and draft if necessary.
