Tournament Teams
The application process for Tournament Team Manager selection will begin in early May. The process includes completing the online form, submitting a coaching resume, and being interviewed at the May Board of Directors meeting.
GPFCLL selects players for their tournament teams by two different methods, based on age.
In mid-May, for the 10 yo State Team, 11 yo State Team, and the 12 yo International Team, players are picked by the managers of each division. Each manager picks the top 10 players from the other teams they play in their division (they do not pick any players from their team) and the 10 players with the most votes become the team. The Tournament Team Manager and their staff can then appoint up to 3 more players to round out the team.
In late-May, for 8 yo and 9 yo Local Tournament Teams, players attend a tryout. GPFCLL strives to have 2 tournament teams for each age group, but this is ultimately determined by how many show up for the tryout. We do this to develop as many of our players as possible and provide a higher level of competition in the future. Players must have been registered in the Spring season of GPFCLL and come to the tryout in order to be selected for a team.
