WYAL Team Formation Protocols
- All players who participate in WYAL evaluations will be notified of their team status. WYAL
coaches for each age group will communicate to all participating players in their age group
whether or not they have been placed on a team. Communications will be made in person or by
phone. It is not acceptable to leave messages conveying a decision on an answering machine or
to send an e-mail.
- If there are multiple teams at an age level, coaches will collaborate to form the teams. Every
effort will be made to find a spot for all players who are interested in being on a traveling team.
- WYAL teams and coaches will respect established rosters whether they be WYAL, WAA, ERAA, or other
associations. A player is part of an established team roster from the time he accepts a position
on the team until the team has completed play for the year.
- Woodbury residents are to be placed on WYAL teams before any non-residents (school or home address).
- Players will get a copy of their evaluation whether or not they can be placed on a team.
