Team Formation Process and Training Structure
Rec Plus teams will be formed using 2 different criteria. 1) Player evaluations 2) Requests. Forming balanced competitive teams is the goal, therefore not all requests can be met.

Players are also evaluated throughout the season by our staff who will attend all games and practices.
