These policies are defined as:
- Youth Policy
-
Players must be at least age 14 or older and MUST NOT have graduated from high school prior to the current year (e.g. to play in 2007 spring or summer youth league, player must graduate no earlier than May/June 2007).
- BYOT Policy
-
- The player must be at least 16 years old.
- The player must have the signed parental waiver GRADA established on March 24, 2007.
- Each BYOT team may have a maximum of three minor players on the roster.
- DRAFT Policy
-
- The league must be run with a clear emphasis to all the players that it is recreational, fun play. The league director must approach any player who accidentally or purposefully pushes his/her individual or team playing beyond that level.
- The league director must be aware of who ALL minor players are and evaluate each one at sign-up. If a player represents excessive risk to him/herself or other players because of a lack of capability, lack of field sense, or lack of physical size, then the director may not allow him/her to play. Players under 18 must contact the league director prior to signing up for the league.
