3150. Dual Registrations page 11

3152. True Under 14 select program players playing up one or more age groups during the fall season will be permitted to dual register for the spring season with an Under 14 team that participated in the fall season. Both teams must participate in the same program and the same or higher division within that program (Classic I, Classic II, Athena A, Athena B, etc.) or the equivalent thereof.

Rationale: To clarify the boys’ select development and select program into one easily understood program instead of three separate entities (Classic v. Challenge, Classic, Junior).

To simplify the relationship between the different levels of competition within the boys’ programs (Classic I, II, III, IV, V, etc.).

To create a uniform consistency in function and treatment of programs between boys and girls (Athena=girls, Classic=boys).
