I am looking for some advice on how other organizations handle tryouts when more than one team is expected at a particular age group. For example, at our tryouts at the end of this summer we will likely have our current 10U team moving up to 12U and our current 12U (young 12U, all but 3 players have '02 birthdays) returning at 12U. Do you limit it strictly by birth year ('02 can only play for older 12U and '03 can only play for young 12U) or do you allow teams to take older or younger players based on other factors? We have not done the best job as an organization in the past in handling tryouts for multiple teams at the same age group and are looking for what has worked for others.
Thanks
Thanks
