13. We do not like to cut players from our program. However, with a limited amount of training facilities we can only accommodate 20 teams. If necessary, we will have to make cuts based on the tryouts and from the information attained from the coaching staff. As a staff, we will create an alternate list as sometimes openings do come available.

14. Conflicts: If you participate in winter sports you can expect to have some conflicts. It will be necessary to share this information with us before being placed on a team and to communicate with your coach so that preparations can be made to have a competitive team ready for each tournament. We understand that school sports take priority over club and we would like the players to have the opportunity to do both.

16. Tryouts: The purpose of tryouts is to place the players where our team of qualified coaches determines where they should play. Their skills will be evaluated to determine where they will be placed.
