Team Levels:
American and National
Team Selections:
Team selections have been made by MYS Program Representatives. American level teams were selected first, followed by National. This year we were fortunate enough to have 3 teams for this age group. We felt it best to build a 4th grade team to compete at the American level, and then to build 2 National teams consisting of a mixture of 3rd and 4th graders. Assessments were used as a large part of the decision making process. We also received feedback from many of the associations in our area that this way of player development has served them well over the years. Players will be contacted after teams and practice schedules have been finalized.
