advanced placement is to allow players with exceptional abilities
which exceed those of their peers to play at a level which is
appropriate to their skills
Definitions:

o The league’s position is
that we will respect the request of the parents for advanced
placement in circumstances that are appropriate.
o By requesting this
advanced placement decision the parents are solely responsible for
their child’s safety as a result of playing in an advanced placement
age level.
o Players that play in the
advanced placement division during the regular season must attend
the all-star evaluation for their age division, and if selected,
play all-stars in their age division.
Exception:
Since there are no 6U all-stars, 6U advanced placement players may
be evaluated and selected for 8U all-stars.
o Before deciding on
advanced placement please consider that your daughter may be one of
the best players in her age division, but might be an average or
below average player in the advanced placement division.
o THIS PLACEMENT IS FINAL
once your daughter is drafted and placed on a team. Parents are
free to change their mind up to the day of the draft, but once
drafted, advanced placement is FINAL. |
