Bantam Placement Process
BANTAM PLACEMENT PROCESS On September 17, 2009 – Bantam players will be divided into 4 practice teams (A, B, C, D). The team placement will be posted on the website by helmet number.
Final bantam team placements will not be finalized until the end of the pre-season or when the high school team placements are completed.
Bantam players trying out for a High School team will be ineligible to play in the Pre-Season unless 1) Balance of city fees are paid in full by Sept. 23rd or 2) coaches invite players for certain games based on competition level. Reasons for the delayed placement of Bantam players is to insure our teams are placed in the proper CSHL division and that there is minimal to no movement of players after the pre-season concludes. Pre-Season RPI ranking system could be affected by players trying out for High School teams. Also high school eligible players who make their high school teams leave vacancies in the Bantam program when they depart the RRYH program.
PRACTICES
Players may rotate practices and games with other bantam practice teams per the coach’s discretion. Coaches will make a conscientious effort to give 2 or 3 days notice for players/parents planning schedules. Players should try and be as available and flexible as possible when assigned practice and games. SUMMARYThe following Bantam placement process is not intended to add stress, anxiety or frustration for anyone involved, but will be implemented to prevent movement of remaining players once High School eligible players possibly leave the program. This process will also assist in the placement of our teams in the appropriate divisions in the CSHL with the preseason games being played with the majority of eligible players. Thank you for you patience and assistance in this process.
