Here is a little info on the NCPAL structure.
Boys: 5th & 6th grade are allowed to "stack" a team . that team is to play in the "A" division. This is done by a small percentage of towns that are looking for that level of competition. All other teams in PAL must have all of there teams entered as balanced teams. These teams are placed in D1,2,3,4....... sometimes you will get a group of 3rd & 4th graders that gell and work hard on a specific "balanced " team this team will work its way into D1 with a strong core and handfull of ball droppers. Other teams will stay with 3 or 4 talented players and the rest only pick up there sticks when the team practices. This team will stay in D2 or 3 depending on how good the 3 or 4 studs are. Now that is how a town team is supposed to be set up. We all know there are towns that have tryouts and put there A team in D1 and all of the ball droppers in D 3 or 4 ..............
Girls: All NCPAL Girls teams at any age group a supposed to be balanced as described in the text above.......we all know that isn't the case with some towns but thats life.... |
