Team Selections

The HTS Athletics Program believes that every child has the right to play. The Program will place a child with the team that best suits that individual’s growth. Depending on the sport and grade level, groups of athletes will be evaluated individually by the coaches and outside assessors. In keeping with CYO rules, teams will be divided to match the league’s prescribed criteria.

 

In Mid-Atlantic competition, as well as tournament teams, the CYO suggests that the teams be divided by skills to match the prescribed league. In non-tournament and instructional leagues, it is suggested that teams be evenly distributed.

 

It is the responsibility of the Athletic Director to decide how the players will be selected for each team. It is the responsibility of the parents to find out how the teams will be divided before the teams are selected. The Athletic Director holds a meeting before the beginning of each season to explain how teams are divided and to address all questions that parents or guardians may have.
