Guidelines For Player Moving Up To A Higher Division
It is not recommended that a player move up to
the next division unless both the coach and parent feel the player
has skills that surpass most players their own age.
We want to avoid a player moving up and getting intimidated by
playing with older players that may be larger and more experienced.
We do not want a player to quit because of that intimidation or
to have their normal development hampered because they are afraid
to participate
To move up the following conditions need to be met:
- A parent must request in writing that their child move
up. A note on the Registration Form would suffice.
- The player must be within one year of the minimum age for
the requested age group. For example, to move up to U11 for which
the minimum age is 8, a U8 player must be 7 years old by the
age deadline.
- An exception to item 2 can be presented to the board for players
of exceptional ability. The player’s ability will need
to be verified and presented to the board for approval. If the
board approves the move up by majority the player moves up. If
not the issue is dead.
- The SSC Board of Directors reserves the right to decline the
player’s request to move up based on information provided
regarding the players skills.
This would be good for one season only. The process would need
to be repeated for each subsequent season that moving up is requested. |
