SPORTSMANSHIP

Unsportsmanlike conduct will not be tolerated from coaches, players or spectators. Trash talking, profanity, fighting, arguing with the referee, excessive or repeated personal fouls, will be treated as such. This also includes inappropriate behavior toward any person working an event (i.e. clock operator, scorekeeper, gate officials). At the referee and C2C tournament director's discretion, an individual can be cited for unsportsmanlike conduct, and can be ejected from the game. Players or fans can also be asked to be removed from the facility and or tournament if these rules are violated. Admissions are non-refundable. The opposing team will be awarded a 1-shot technical foul and possession if a fan of a team is ejected.

Player Eligibility

These are the guidelines by which we will operate.

2nd grade = 8 years old (8U)

3rd grade = 9 years old (9U)

4th grade = 10 years old (10U)

5th grade = 11 years old (11U)

6th grade = 12 years old (12U)

7th grade = 13 years old (13U)

8th grade = 14 years old (14U)

9th grade = 15 years old (15U)

10th grade = 16 years old (16U)

11th grade = 17 years old (17U)

12th grade = 18 years old (Unsigned Seniors)

Even if a player is grade-eligible, no player can play in a division where the player is more than 1 year older than the appropriate age for that division. The age-determining date is September 1st each year. Example: a player that is in the 6th grade, but will be 14 by Sept 1st, is not eligible to participate in the 6th-grade division. A player is always welcome to "play up" (participate in an older age division) but may not do the opposite. A player must be able to confirm his/her grade status. This is why we encourage a birth certificate, report card, and photo.
