Draft Process Frequently Asked Questions

Why don’t coaches just pick their own teams?

Because that often leads to stacked teams and an unfair experience. The draft ensures all teams are balanced and competitive.

Can my child play with their friends?

• 8U and below: Yes, one mutual request may be honored
• 10U and above: No, teams are formed through the draft to maintain fairness

What happens if a coach runs out of time?

The system will automatically assign the next best available player so the draft can continue smoothly.

How are players evaluated fairly?

Multiple coaches evaluate each player, and rankings are reviewed as a group to ensure fairness.

What if I disagree with my child’s skill level?

Skill groupings are used only to balance teams. Every player will have the opportunity to develop and succeed throughout the season.

Can teams be changed after the draft?

No. Once teams are finalized and games begin, rosters are locked.
