Waitlist Guidelines:

There will be a waitlist available the day after registration closes. No exceptions.  

Players will be placed on the waitlist according to #1) their age appropriate division and #2) by waitlist registration date.  If you are waitlisted and requesting to play up a division, priority will be given by DOB (oldest to youngest). Once rosters are set, you will be notified on space availability. 

 

Buddy Request Guidelines: 

Buddy requests are only open to Rookies (6U) and Juniors (8U) divisions.  RCGSL will attempt to honor all buddy requests, but please note that we cannot guarantee all requests will be granted in order to keep teams balanced. 

 

Coach Requests:

Coach requests are only open to Rookies (6U) & Juniors (8U) divisions.   Please consider volunteering to coach or assistant coach if you would like to ensure your daughter's buddy request is honored. 

 

Player Evaluation Day: 

All players in Minors (10U) and Majors (12U) are required to attend an evaluation day to determine skill levels. Players in Rookies (6U) and Juniors (8U) requesting to play up in a higher age division are required to attend an evaluation day as well. Evaluations will be used by coaches to assist with roster formations and help create balanced teams. 

• All Players MUST attend evaluation day on January 20th. There will be one make-up day to follow.
• Overall criteria observed by evaluators will be batting, hitting, base running, in fielding, and out fielding skill levels.
• Pitchers & Catchers will be evaluated separately.
• Most importantly, ball safety is the priority for all divisions.
• Evaluations may also be used for the formation of Select Teams.

 

Play Up Requests:

If your daughter would like to play up to the next age division in the Spring, they MUST attend evaluation day to determine skill level and ball safety.  Our goal is to create the most balanced teams and this will be the priority when determining play up requests.

Please reference the 2024 USA Softball Age Chart for guidance with your daughter's age appropriate division.
