• Parents are advised that being selected by peers, classmates, and coaches as a top performing player (i.e. All-Star) is a considerable honor & privilege.  Not all players will be selected.  Players will represent GLL and the local community when competing against other leagues in the tournament. 

Team Practices

• Practices may begin after tournament rosters are officially announced, at the head coach’s discretion and in accordance with LL regulations.  Player participation at regular season games shall take precedence over participation at postseason practices. 

Players

• Tournament team interest/availability
  • Parents of prospective players shall not and must not pre-register a player unless willing & able to commit to attend all team practices & games.  Practices will occur at the head coach’s sole discretion.  Tournament team coaches typically choose to practice for several hours at least once per day, sometimes even twice per day as circumstances dictate.  Team practices typically work on the finer points of the game, including game situations and strategies.
  • GLL doesn’t control tournament game scheduling whatsoever – parents can expect a wide variety of times – there could be 3 games in 3 days or 1 game in a week.  For teams that continue winning and move onto higher competition levels, teams may not have a game for up to 2 weeks at a time.
  • Parents are advised that pre-existing summer vacations/plans could possibly be impacted by tournament play and schedule changes due to weather.  Therefore, parents should carefully consider the potential impact before pre-registering.  Verified pre-registered players chosen for a team will automatically be assigned to a roster spot and NOT have an opportunity to refuse a roster spot if selected/assigned to a team.
• Tournament team eligibility
  • Participated in at least EIGHT (8) regular season games with GLL.
  • Proof of Age compliance [reference Pre-Registration details].
