ABOUT THE MINOR DIVISION

Your division Rep Jenn Robichaud can be reached at HUDSONHEAT1@AOL.COM

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 whose format is established each year based on the Minor Division Representative and Manager input as to the skill level of that year’s teams.

All games shall be played at Kiwanis Field behind St Mary's Credit Union on Lowell Rd.

*** This is a trash in, trash out facility: please take any trash items away with you. Please keep our field, provided through the generosity of the Hudson Kiwanis Club, clean !


MINOR DIVISION Bylaws

New players will be assigned to a team by selecting the players names by lottery.

Close to equal number of Second and Third 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.

A   All teams will practice in the month of April with no more than two (2) activities per week.
B.  In the month of May, the first two weeks will be used for scrimmages only. The remainder of the month will be used to play games.
C.  Each team should play every team once.  The remainder of the games will be determined by randomly picking names from a hat.
