KMHA: Policy # HL - B5.1
Title: Participation of Players in Other Age Groupings
Policy Statement:
In order for a player who desires to participate at the Non-Representative level, but has abilities significantly in advance of his/her age group, participation will be allowed provided the player is placed in a category which is one or more above his/her age classification.
Movement shall be recommended by the respective Director and reviewed by a committee made up of the House League Directors and House League VP’s.
In order for a player with abilities significantly below his/her age classification to be allowed to participate in a category one or more below his/her age classification, placement of the player shall be recommended and approved by the respective Director. All requests for movement must be made prior to House League tryouts occurring.
Players cannot be moved up or down a year if it takes a spot away in the league from a player that belongs in that age group.
Players removed from the waiting list will be placed in the appropriate age group based on skill. Siblings cannot be moved to the same division unless a committee made up of the Directors and 3rd VP approve the move. Player ability will control the decision of player movement for siblings. Siblings that are goalies cannot move to other divisions to play with each other
