Every player is required to tryout in their own age group at least 1 day of tryouts, this is mandatory. Players may then attend tryouts for older age groups, however this may mean they will not be properly evaluated for the teams in their age group. Players who do not try out for their age-eligible team may not be selected for that team.

Each year a new Playing Up Request and Consent Form must be filled out by the parent, c0ach and club after tryouts and agreeing to play for the older age group team.

For the benefit of the player’s development regards players playing up for an older age group when a more competitive team is available in their respective age group. Specifically, if a player is playing up for a team which is playing in the silver or below divisions and a team in their respective age group that player will be placed on a team in their respective age group.
