Can we request that our child be placed on a particular team?
Spirit!League team assignments are made by our Head Coaches through a draft process. The goal of the draft is to insure fair and safe play through the creation of teams that are balanced. Coaches consider many factors in assigning teams including experience, athletic ability and emotional development.
For players in the U10 Division only, a parent may request that their child be placed on a particular team. This request will be considered by the Coach during the draft. There is no guarantee, however, that the request will be honored.
Requests will not be taken in U19 Division as the difficulty in creating fair and balanced teams is much greater.
Does Spirit!League allow siblings who do not have special needs to play on teams?
No, our mission is to offer children with special needs a way to play team sports in a competitive environment. We cannot insure fair play and maintain a safe environment if we permit children without special needs to be included.
