5. How are teams picked?
Teams are picked by a coach's draft to make the teams as even as possible. All players are asked to take part in assessment day shortly after registration. The 6U age group will not have to come to assessments as those players are evenly divided by age. Since we are going to year round teams, the teams that where together in the fall will stay together for spring unless a player ages out, or what's to go back into the draft to assess up or for another team.
6. When and what are assessments?
Assessments take place before the season begins. The registered players will come to the ball park and do drills to let the coaches see the skill level of the girls. Every registered player will be placed on a team. LGS does not turn away any players as long as they are registered
