My child has very little experience and/or is smaller than other kids his or her age. Can he/she be placed in a lower division?
As a general rule, we encourage players to play in the division that is appropriate for their age bracket. We do, however, evaluate players at the tryouts. If, in the judgment of the division director, a player’s inexperience would put them at risk of injury in the age appropriate division, the director will recommend to the parent that the child play down a division. If you are concerned about this, please call the division director and discuss your concerns. We will certainly consider play down requests carefully. Keep in mind that players who play down from Bronco to Mustang or from Pony to Bronco will not be eligible to pitch during the season, nor will they be eligible for post season tournament play.
