Teams 
Teams are balanced by age and gender, as appropriate for the various age group programs. 
Parent's wishing to change teams, must find another parent willing to change teams with them.
Coaches, Coordinators and the Director will not attempt to facilitate changes.

No child may play below his/her age level. 
A player will be moved up, only if, in the opinion of the coordinator and the coach, the child is too strong for their age group.
