If the player is a child of a coach, then the coach has the option to automatically take their child onto their team as long as they are within the appropriate age divisions. Evaluations are mandatory to be placed on a team. When you arrive, please sign in your child and they will be assigned a number and instructed on where to go. The evaluation process will not take long.
