Recruiting & Team Formation
Coaches may recruit players only after they have received notice from the Region 85 Secondary Staff, informing them that their Spring Coach Application has been accepted and approved. Please note that each age group will have a cap on how many players each coach/team can recruit. This will allow the Region to place players who have parents that are Referees, Coaches, or Board Members. Any remaining roster openings will be assigned by the Region or by a Spring Draft of those listed on the wait list.
ALL players must register via the Region 85 website (Sports Connect).
10U coaches will be allowed to recruit 6 players (4 players to be assigned by the Region or Spring Draft. Max roster size 10.)
12U coaches will be allowed to recruit 8 players (4 players to be assigned by the Region or Spring Draft. Max roster size 12.)
14U coaches will be allowed to recruit 10 players (5 players to be assigned by the Region or Spring Draft. Max roster size 15.)
16U and 19U coaches do not have restrictions on the number of recruited players, however every effort will be made to place those wishing to play who participated in the Fall 2022 Program.
8U teams will be comprised of 7U and 8U Fall Players. Coaches will work with the Secondary Staff to form teams.
Secondary Staff will email the date in which recruited player lists are due. (Recruited players may only be those that participated in the Fall program).
Teams will be assembled AFTER the EXTRA Tryouts.
