We make every effort to match teams of equal ability. A team will be placed in a division within its age group based on our assessment of its relative competitive ability compared with other teams applying in the same age group. We plan on having two divisions at each age level for boys and girls U11-U17, Select and Travel/Classic.
The number of divisions in each age group and their respective levels of play will depend upon the number and types of teams applying and accepted in each age group.
