Are there TRYOUTS?
No. Each child that registers will be placed on a team. If there are enough players for 2-3 teams in a particular division, the coaches of the respective teams will evaluate the players. Following these evaluations athletes will be divided into A and B teams to best meet the current skill and game IQ level of the group, and to best ensure they face an appropriate level of competition in games.
