TRAVEL TEAM EVALUATIONS, TEAM FORMATION
AND COACH, TRAINER SELECTION
The
purpose of this document is to supplement the Club Policy for Team Formation
dated 9/1/83.
Player Evaluations
Travel
Team Evaluations will be governed by the Travel Team Evaluation Committee
consisting of all registered coaches and assistant coaches in the Club. The
committee will be co-chaired by the First Vice President and the Head Coach.
The Committee will:
o With the support of the Publicity
Coordinator, make sufficient advanced notification to the community of
registration dates, times and places through flyers, newspaper articles and
other media. This will take place in the spring prior to the start of the new season.
All players will be registered prior to evaluations.
o Based on registrations received,
schedule evaluations (tryouts) for each age group. Adequate time must be
provided to allow the Registrar a sufficient period to register teams with the
League.
o Schedule Committee, Board members and
other qualified personnel to supervise evaluations.
o Plan skill stations and other
evaluation techniques which make the best use of available resources
and avoid idle time of players being evaluated.
o Clearly record, tabulate, summarize and
present evaluation data to Committee Chairpersons. The player's name, date of
birth, phone number, coaches and skill level will be included as key data.
o Evaluate players and make
recommendations for team formation to Club Officers.
o With the support of the registrar and
Travel Coaches, notify players of evaluation results only after team formation
has been completed and verified by the Board of Directors. A listing of key
data for each Travel Team will be forwarded to the First Vice President,
Travel.
Team Formation
Players
will be assigned to teams based on their evaluation results and coach's input.
For age groups with multiple teams, players with highest evaluation results
will be given the opportunity to play on the highest Division or most
competitive teams.
Coach Selection
Recommendations
for new Travel Coaches will be forwarded to the First Vice President and Head
Coach and will be cataloged by the Travel Coordinator. Resumes may be secured but
are not required. Appointment of Travel Coaches will be made by the Head Coach
with the approval of the Board of Directors.
A
Trainer, coach or organization such as U.K. Elite, Joe Palumbo, etc that gets
paid to work with teams must have a resume on file with the Club. The Board of
Directors will decide on the applicant. If approved, the trainer will be placed
on a list of recommended paid trainers/coaches. A team that uses an unapproved
trainer will be placed in bad standing and possibly fined. An approved paid
trainer or coach will be allowed to work with a maximum of two (2) teams at one
time during any season. This will allow for the maximum training for these
teams. Any paid trainer or coach in violation of this procedure will be removed
from the list of trainers and possibly fined.
