How to Assign Staff to “New” Teams
→

Ops & Execution
⟶ Which age do we encourage transition = U7 thru U16?
⟶ Which age do we allow team consistency = U17 & U19?
⟶ Accountability Pockets, Directors Responsibilities
⟶ WSA allowing a “hybrid” season for “uncertain” athletes
Our Tradition is Player Development.
New Age Divisions
⟶ Players born Aug, Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec can
stay in same age division next year
⟶ Players born in month 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 can
stay in same age division
⟶ Next year U13 is called “2014”, U14 is called
“2013”, U15 is called “2012”
⟶ Nomenclature Basis: “U13” will include 7
months of birth years in 2014, and 5 months in
2013, so will be called “2014”
