How are Travel teams selected?
Coaches also evaluate the players throughout the season. In early June, the coaches for the next season, get together and using the scores from the evaluations and the Coaches evaluations, place the kids on the appropriate team for their skill level. The evaluation score is critical in this process and probably makes up 70% of the team placement. This is admittedly, an inexact science, but the goal is to field a team that can compete in their Division within the Middlesex League. My child is currently playing on a travel team, does he/she have to be evaluated? Yes, players need to be evaluated every year. Players grow and skills change. Also, Teams WILL CHANGE FROM YEAR TO YEAR. My child is currently on a travel team, will he/she be on the same team next year? No, no player is guaranteed a position on any team in any division. Your child must be evaluated every year.
