Philosophy on Youth Sports
To allow all children an opportunity to have fun,
participate and learn fundamental sports skills. Youth sports stress the
importance of sportsmanship, respect, teamwork, and self-discipline through
healthy and fair competition.
Youth Sports Team Selection Process
Players will be rated during an assessment practice on sport specific skills
(dependent on sport) and overall athletic skills. Equitable teams will be created
from the player assessment results. Other criteria for team selections is as follows:
- Requests for specific coaches or for kids to be with their friends are not guaranteed.
- Each team will be allowed a Head Coach and one Assistant Coach.
- Coaches children will be placed on the same team as their parent.
- Siblings will be placed on the same team, if it is requested.
- We will try to honor practice day and carpooling requests however, we may not by able to accommodate all requests.
- We do try to create teams with kids from the same school.
Reasoning for the Team Selection Process
This process supports the Louisville Philosophy of Youth Sports in that it creates
equitable teams for children to have fun and learn sports skills. When teams are
evenly matched and games are close, all players enjoy the game and build an
enthusiasm for the sport and teamwork.
