NEW TAMPA, FLORIDA
National Team
(Number of Tournaments 7-8)
(Number of Players per team 10)
A National Team is one that plays a
more competitive schedule.
A National Team will play in one or
two out of state tournaments. Out of
State events may require athlete's to
miss one day of school or to play on
Easter weekend. Everything will be
done to try to avoid this, but I do not
control when National tournaments
schedule there events.
National Teams will stay overnight at
tournaments not in Tampa. Players will
room together, usually 4 to a room. If a
team plays in the afternoon wave of a
tournament, that is less then 1/12 Hrs
from Tampa . That team will go up the
day of the tournament. They will stay
until completion of the event. If they
play in the morning wave that team will
go up the night before the tournament.
(This is MANDATORY of all teams 14u and older.)
Any Family who chooses to play on a
National Team is committed to that
team and the schedule. (schedules will be
posted by Dec.1 or earlier)
If a family backs out of an out of state
tournament less then 3 mouths
before the tournament, they will be
responsible for all fees.
Out of State Tournament entry fees
are paid, Hotels and Flights Booked
months in advance. I do this
based on the number of players on a
team and to make sure I get the best
Hotels and Airfare for families. If a
family backs out 3 months before the
tournament, I have two options, bill the
rest of the parents of that team more or
absorb the extra cost. Most importantly
the team is now without one of its
teammates .
Obviously this does not apply to Family
emergencies.
State Team
(Number of Tournaments 6-7)
(Number of players per team 10)
A State Team will play in
tournaments in Tampa and
and in other parts of the State,
usually they will play three
tournaments in Orlando.
State teams will stay overnight
at Tournaments not in Tampa.
Players will room together,
usually 4 to a room. If the team
plays in the Afternoon wave of a
tournament that is less then
1 1/2 Hrs from Tampa. That team
will go up the day of the
tournament. They will stay in
until the completion of
the event. If they play in the
morning wave, the team will
go up the night before the
tournament.
(This is MANDATORY of all teams 14u and
older.)
A State Team will not Travel out
of state. But, if all PARENTS of
a team agree, that team can
choose to go out of state
If that should happen, then that
team would now be
considered a National team.
All cost and expectations of
being on a National team would apply.
Local Teams
(Number Tournaments 5-6)
(Number of players per team 10-12)
A Local Team is one reserved for
10 to 13 under teams.
It is designed to develop young
athlete's. To get them ready for
more competitive teams as they
get older.
Local Teams play in tournaments
in the Tampa Bay area. Events in
which a overnight stay is not
required.
If the DIRECTOR and PARENTS
feel a team is ready for tougher
competition then it will be
scheduled. (Parents MUST travel and
room with their Athlete.)
