GUIDING PRINCIPLES
LONG TERM DEVELOPMENT RESEARCH DEMONSTRATES THE FLAWS OF PLACING ATHLETES INTO THEIR BIRTH YEAR FOR PARTICIPATION IN SPORTS. IN SHORT, THE DISCREPANCIES THAT CAN OCCUR BETWEEN YOUTH WITHIN THE SAME BIRTH YEAR CREATE SIGNIFICANT DISADVANTAGES FOR LATE DEVELOPING MAKE ATHLETES AND TO A LESSER DEGREE, EARLY DEVELOPING FEMALES. THEREFORE, PROVIDING A RANGE OF MONTHS (16) WITHIN A COMPETITION DIVISION GIVES ATHLETES GREATER FLEXIBILITY TO SHOSE A LEVEL THAT BEST SUITS THEIR NEEDS. ATHLETES, PARENTS AND COACH SHOULD CONSIDER THE SHORT TERM AND LONG TERM BENEFITS OF PLAYING IN DIFFERENT AGE CATEGORIES. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT EACH CLUB MAY HAVE THEIR OWN POLICIES REGARDING PLAYING UP/PLAYING DOWN.
FYI
THE TOURNAMENT DIRECTOR MAY COMBINE DIVISIONS OR MOVE TEAMS UP/DOWN BASED ON STRENGTH
OF TEAMS IN ORDER TO ENSURE A COMPETITIVE DIVISION.
FRIDAY GAMES WILL ONLY BE PLAYED IF NECESSARY. TRAVEL TEAMS HAVE THE OPTION TO BEGIN
PLAY ON SATURDAY TO ALLOW TIME FOR TRAVEL. PLEASE CONTACT US TO DISCUSS YOUR ITINERARY.
ALTHOUGH WE TRY OUR BEST TO ACCOMMODATE YOUR SCHEDULING REQUESTS, IT IS NOT GUARANTEED
THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO HONOUR ALL OF THEM. TEAMS SHOULD BE AVAILABLE TO PLAY DURING
THE TOURNAMENT DATES. TRAVEL TEAMS WILL HAVE PRIORITY.
IN ORDER TO MINIMIZE TRAVEL, WE TRY OUR BEST TO SCHEDULE TEAMS AT THE SAME VENUE OR
GYMNASIUMS WITHIN A 20 MINUTE DRIVE.
ALTHOUGH WE AIM FOR CONSISTENCY WITH OUR VENUES, THEY CAN BE SUBJECT TO CHANGE DUE
TO AVAILABILITY AND NUMBER OF TEAMS ENTERED IN THE TOURNAMENT.
YOUR TEAM IS NOT CONFIRMED IN THE TOURNAMENT UNTIL FULL PAYMENT IS RECEIVED. NO REFUNDS
WILL BE ISSUED IF YOU CANCEL AFTER THE REGISTRATION DEADLINE.
