Player Request Policy

For the past few years the increasing number of parental requests for player placements has placed an unmanageable workload on our volunteers and has resulted in an imbalance in teams and lopsided scores in games which has caused a lot of players to have a less than pleasant experience with our club.To try and correct this, the executive has decided that requests for placement be limited to the following:

  1. Siblings playing together where appropriate
  2. Coaches and their children
