I can only speak for my district but here there are no cuts. If there are enough players at each grade level A and B teams are formed.
The focus of the summer program is developing players and teams, not on winning at the youth level.
The coaches philosophy is that by developing ALL of the younger players and not excluding anyone it will result in winning treams at the varsity level.
