CANTON-GALVA EAGLES

According to Salvation Army League rules, 8-man team rosters are limited to a maximum of 16 players.  The team is selected on a first come, first served basis.  Below is the order in which players will be added to the team.  The team will consist of 5th and 6th graders (4th and 5th graders at time of registration) attending school at Canton-Galva. (In years where there are not enough Canton-Galva students wishing to play, we may bring in other students from the area to fill the roster with league board approval.  It does not appear that this will be necessary in the foreseeable future.)

 

1.  Returning players from prior year’s team.  All 5th graders that are returning as 6th graders will keep their spot on their team if they choose to play again. 

2. 6th graders who did not play as 5th graders will be selected next.

3. 5th graders will be selected next.

Each year the community director will hold a registration/information meeting in the fall.   The date, time and place of the meeting will be announced at least 2 weeks prior to the meeting and all students/parents will be made aware of the meeting via the school newsletter which gets sent home to all 4th and 5th graders as well as emailed to parents who have given their email address to the principal to receive the newsletter electronically.

 

All players need to be represented by a parent or guardian at the meeting.  If you are unable to attend the meeting and wish to have your child registered, you need to have a relative or family friend represent you at the meeting.  This needs to be somebody who is not there representing another player also.  In other words, one adult can only register one player at the meeting unless they are the parent or legal guardian of all players they register.  If somebody else is registering your child, you need to make the community director aware of this at least 1 hour before the meeting and prior to the person securing a place in line at the meeting.  An email address and phone number for the community director will be included in the meeting notification in the newsletter.

 

The doors to the meeting will open 1 hour prior to the meeting and numbers will be given out as you enter.  Once receiving your number, you must remain at the meeting location or you will lose your place in line.  The meeting will not start until the published time.  At the conclusion of the meeting, registrations will be accepted in the order listed above, followed by the number given to them when they entered the building.  Once 16 registrations have been received, a waiting list will be started and it will follow the same order.  Players may be added to the team or the waiting list after the meeting by contacting the community director.  In the event of a waiting list, players added after the initial registration meeting will be added at the bottom of the list.  For example, a 6th grader that wasn’t registered at the meeting will not jump ahead of a 5th grader who was.

 

If you have any questions, please contact the community director.
