FAQs

Do I need to be evaluated to register for Div 1 or Div 2 teams?

Yes, players interested in playing for Div 1 or Div 2 teams must participate in Phase 3 evaluations. These evaluations are conducted by independent coaches and help shape the teams for the following season.

What should I do if I am unable to participate in Phase 3 evaluations?

If you are unable to attend Phase 3, you must register and also contact the club’s technical director to review your status.
