Under special circumstances, a player may “play down” should it be determined that the player would present a safety risk by playing in their prescribed division. This determination is made by the player agent in coordination with the independent assessor, past coaches, and parents. If a player should play at a lower level, the player is restricted from pitching.
Note: when selecting the division for your player during registration, please select the highest level that you will allow for you child to play. The player will be assigned a division based upon assessments and player draft.
