Teams

How are teams put together?

Boys teams are put together by the RMSLC Board, using guidelines set up by the club and the leagues. Younger ages (1st Grade-3rd Grade) are usually assigned by the Board, with input from coaches. Teams for older players (4th Grade/U10-8th Grade/U15), will have player evaluation days in January and February. Red Level (top skill level) tryouts are usually in the fall. Impartial evaluators will assess each player’s skill level, athletic ability and attitude. This determines what level of league competition the player & team may be eligible to play. Girls teams will be assigned based on grade and experience.

Grade-based teams
