How are evaluations and assignments conducted?

Parents and players should understand that:

• Each coach is asked by the Age Coordinator each season to complete an objective evaluation form for each player on the team.

• The two major sources of information used by coaches and age coordinators to help make team assignments are the coach's evaluations and the spring tryouts. Of these considerably more emphasis is given to the evaluations as they reflect a season long review of each player.

• Team assignments are made with the best interests of players and teams in mind.

• Player assessment will be conducted as fairly as possible.

• Every effort will be made to see that teams are not exclusionary over time and that team assignments reflect an evaluation of each player's current skills and commitment.

• A player's individual success and development results in large part from how the player interacts with the team to which he/she is assigned, not on which team.
