-
DLC Boys teams for grades 2-4 will be formed primarily on the basis of age, geography, schools and any previous experience.
-
DLC Boys teams for grades 5-8 will be formed on the basis of coach selection and previous experience.
-
Existing DLC Coaches in these age brackets will provide input regarding team rosters and formation. A greater emphasis on competitive ability will be instituted at higher age levels.
-
DLC does not have spring ‘tryouts’. We take pride in our community, neighborhood, and school based recreational program. We provide strong player development and offer various levels from beginner to top competitive play.
-
Our overarching goal is to place every player at the level best suited to his experience and athletic ability. We believe that our players’ enjoyment and experience is maximized when they are grouped with players of similar ability levels.
- IMPORTANT: We cannot guarantee that any player will be placed on the same team from year to year, as logistics within and beyond our control change season to season. We will make every effort and adhere to every request, from every family.
