TEAM DIVISION:
For any interschool sport that will have more than one team, a team division process will
take place. Dates will be scheduled and distributed and those interested in playing will
be required to attend these sessions. Depending on the grade level and the number of
participants, the students will complete skills testing and possibly individual drills and
scrimmaging. Using these scores for grades 4-6, the teams are evenly divided by skill.

determine a top skill level team. The remaining players will be evenly divided using the
same scores. The Athletic Director and coaches administer the process.
