SPRING PLAY UPS

* If a spring player will be requesting to "play up" into a higher age group, she must initially register under the age-appropriate division. A formal request will be made during the registration process.  The player must attend assessments for both the age appropriate division, as well as the "play up" division.  To be allowed to play up, the player must be drafted during the draft of the "play up" division.  Requests to play up may be denied at the discretion of the Division Commissioner or Player Agent should they see any safety concerns.

6U PLAYERS

** Although not suggested, based on the players individual ability, a player may start 6U at a younger age than what is indicated, provided the parent is available to assist with the player at practices and games.
