Players are occasionally able to play up in a higher division than their age dictates due to their skill level and/or past experience.
ABYB Playing-Up Policy Statement (dated 2/11/19)
The ABYB Player Agent will review all of the information provided below along with the feedback from prior seasons’ ABYB coaches. The Player Agent may also request a player evaluation session. If the evaluation session needs to happen prior to the fields being open, an indoor session may be required (30 min cage fee may apply).
The Player Agent will present his/her recommendation(s) to the ABYB Board for approval. The ABYB Player Agent will contact you once a decision is determined. The ABYB Board’s decisions are final.
