Winter Training
The Black team will be composed of 6th – 9th graders with the Red team composed of 8th – 12 graders. 8th and 9th graders will be placed on the respective teams based on the position ranking and needs of the teams. Exceptions may be made to the grade levels if there are not enough participants to field a team. If there are enough participants where a third team is formed, the grade levels may be adjusted to match the Fall season.
Fall Season
The Junior High (JH) team will be composed of 6th – 9th graders, the Junior Varsity (JV) team with 8th – 12th graders, and the Varsity team with 8th – 12 graders. 8th and 9th graders will be placed on the JH, JV and Varsity teams based on the position ranking and needs of the teams. 10th – 12th graders will be placed on the JV and Varsity teams based on the position ranking and needs of the teams. Exceptions may be made to the grade levels if there are not enough participants to field a team.
Player Positions
The following are the positions that each team will be seeking to fill. Players may qualify for one or multiple positions. Players should not expect to play in a position in which they have not qualified. As part of our tryout/leveling procedures, we will evaluate each athlete for each of the positions. They will then be ranked by position and each team will then be filled based on the number of positions available on each team. Players will be informed of the positions that they qualified for at the end of the leveling. If a player qualifies for more than one position, they may be used for multiple positions or only one based on the needs of the team. While we seek to fill each team based on the skills that they have demonstrated, there may be a need to balance the teams in order to field a complete team at each level.
