Important Age Policy

  • Players may move up an age group (pending SBA approval and availability).

  • Incorrect registrations will be moved to the proper division.


Team Placement, Evaluations & Friend Requests

(Decided at our AGM this year)

  • All athletes must go through evaluations/tryouts.

  • We recommend all athletes attend Steel tryouts first. If they do not make one of the top two teams in their age group, they should then attend community evaluations.

  • Commitment for Steel and Tier 3 or lower is the same: 1 practice + 1 game per week.

Friend Requests:
We understand that some athletes and parents may hope to be placed on a team with friends. While we do our best to accommodate these requests, we cannot guarantee them.

  • Friend requests must be one-to-one (e.g., Sally requests Suzie and Suzie requests Sally).

  • Requests must be made during registration and both players must be in the same age division.

  • Placement is based primarily on evaluation results, roster needs, and creating balanced teams.

Placement Rules:

  1. All players must be registered before attending evaluations/tryouts.

  2. Players must participate in evaluations/tryouts to be placed on a team.

  3. Steel team rosters are formed first; remaining players are placed on community teams.

  4. Teams are created to be as balanced and competitive as possible within each tier.

  5. Requests for specific coaches or friends will be considered, but not guaranteed.


Waitlist & Division Closures

A division may be marked FULL due to:

  • Not enough coaches.

  • EYBA’s team limits for our zone.

  • Limited gym time.

If your division is full, email Darlene with your child’s date of birth to be placed on a waitlist. If registering late for 13U or 15U Steel tryouts, you may request a password to register.
