7th GRADE OPTION

                     WGSL 7TH GRADE JUNIOR DIVISION OPTION 

1.            It is the objective of the Wallingford Girls' Softball League to provide a positive learning experience for all participants.  The League stresses skill development, team play and fun.  The league understands that 7th grade players are at the crossroads of their maturity/skill level and possibly a move to the Senior Division may not be in the best interest of the player.  The league has developed a procedure to allow parents to submit a request to have their daughter receive consideration to remain in the Junior Division for one more season.   The Junior Division will be open to girls in grades 4 through 6 and any girl in grade 7 approved by the League Board of Directors for Junior Division play.  The maximum age is 13 years as of January 1 prior to the playing season.

2.            Parents must complete the WGSL 7th Grade Request Form and submit it to the WGSL Board of Directors prior to February 1st 2009. 

3.            The League President and Junior Division Vice-President will determine acceptance/denial of the request prior to February 8th, 2009 and inform the parent(s) of the player.

4.            The League President and Junior Division Vice-President will give full consideration to the player’s current skill level, including hitting, catching, fielding abilities and game play comprehension when determining if the player should remain in the Junior Division or proceed to the Senior Division.  The League President and Junior Division Vice-President will reserve the right to discuss the player’s skill level with the player’s previous coach(es), previous Junior Division Vice-President (if applicable) and competing Coaches who reside on the Board of Directors.  New players may be requested to participate in the Senior draft before a determination can be made. 

5.            With the exception of discussing the player’s skill level with her current coaching staff and parents, all information associated with this request will be kept confidential by the Board of Directors.
