| Team Formation |
| Teams are formed by neighboorhoods schools. |
| League Coordinators determine the total number of teams by taking the total number of players and divide by 11, rounding UP to the next number. Leagues with twelve teams may add 1 additional team. Leagues with 24 teams may add two additional teams. This will leave several teams with 10 or 11 players and allow for a few late sign-ups. |
| League Coordinators verify one sponsor per team. Sponsors who are coaches may only sponsor their own player's team. |
| After sponsor verification, league coordinators verify one head coach per team. Head coach volunteers will receive a phone call or email to verify the coaches are still interested in being head coaches. At least one coach or parent is REQUIRED to attend a DC sponsored coaches clinic. Failure to attend will result in the neighborhood team being split up and players placed on other teams. |
| League Coordinators will verify that player teammate requests are honored. Only mutual requests will be honored. Schools with 16 players are split 8 & 8 not 3 & 13. Neighborhoods with 12 or 13 players will have their own team. |
| Priority of requests are as follows:
1. Requests of Sponsors for a player or coach. Sponsors who are coaches may only sponsor their own player's team. 2. Request of a Head Coach for one assistant 3. Players of coaches and assistant coaches 4. Mutual teammate requests 5. Neighborhood relationships as determined by the location of the sponsor or head coach. 6. One sided teammate requests may be considered provided the requested player has not had a previous mutual request 7. A request for a coach is not a consideration in forming teams Late registrants will be placed on teams by the executive director based on space available |
