If they plan on putting teams in NCPAL they are not allowed to have stacked teams or teams you have tryouts for. Please post what teams they pan on entering in Nassau so they will be blocked from doing so. NCPAL has a policy on the girls side that if a town has more than one team in an age group they must enter the teams balanced. The boys in 5th & 6th grade are allowed to enter A teams but the girls are not allowed to. NCPAL also has combination grade divisions 3/4, 5/6, 7/8 on the girls side.
NCPAL only changed the rules on the boys side two years ago. Up until that time towns were not allowed to enter their "A" team in the league. The rule was not enforced and some towns entered their "A" teams. Its all about winning.
It is sad that some organizations break the rules in order to gain an advantage in youth sports but it happens all to often.
The negative impact is most felt by the children in their own community not by the teams that lose a game to the "A" Team. Most of the parents and players in the Town do not know that their "Town" is breaking the rules in order to gain a competitive advantage. The parents think that all of the Towns have "A" teams. The child who is placed on the "A" team at an early age will have an advantage over similar players who are on the "B" Team. Each year it will become harder and harder to break onto the "A" Team.
