“ABOUT THE MINOR DIVION”
The Minor Division was established to allow second and third graders an opportunity to have game play, but in a non competitive setting. Minors Have several practices in April and May and eventually play scrimmage games, wrapping up the year with a play off established each year based on the Minor Division Representative and Manager input as to the skill level of that years players.
MINOR DIVISION
New players will be assigned to a team by selecting the players names lottery.
Close to equal number of 3rd and 4th graders per team.
Exception: At the discretion of the Director and Minor Division Representative, arrangements may be made to assign non sisters to the same team. For example: car pooling or other compelling reason.
