The league is implementing new draft guidelines in order to ensure a more
competitive
environment for the kids.
- Teams will now be capped at twelve (12) players per team.
- The number of teams will be dependent on the number of coaches that
volunteer.
- Anyone that registers after the available player slots have been
filled will be put
on a waitlist, and will gain a spot in the order they registered as additional
coaches volunteer or if any non-waitlisted players drop.
PLAYERS STAYING WITH A PREVIOUS TEAM
During registration, parents must request the player(s) to return to their prior season’s team. All other players need to attend Skills Day and be entered into the draft.
Parents may request their player to return to a previous team if they played for that team within the last 3 seasons. These requests are not guaranteed and the player should be prepared to attend Skills Day unless notified by the Board before the draft.
Parents (not coaches) may appeal to the RCYSA Board for an exception to this rule, but must demonstrate a legitimate need and not a preference.
ROSTER SPOTS FOR COACHES PLAYERS
Teams 10u and up will be allowed three (3) coaches on the roster with whose
coaches kids are guaranteed a spot on the team. All other coaches will be deemed volunteer
helpers and their child is not guaranteed a spot.
Teams 8u and below will be allowed four (4) coaches on the roster whose
coaches kids are guaranteed a spot on the team. All other coaches will be deemed volunteer
helpers and their child is not guaranteed a spot.
