Whether a top level team is formed in a particular age group and gender in a given year is determined by two factors:

• the level of interest expressed by players and parents;
• assessment of skill level at the tryouts. 

Tryout schedules will be posted online at least two weeks prior to them taking place.  The Club will also advertise the tryouts in the local newspaper at least two weeks prior to the first tryout taking place.  Every player must complete a tryout registration form in order to try-out.  A returning player will not be allowed to try-out if he or she has not completed the tryout registration form or has outstanding debts to the Club or a WWPSA team.

Tryouts are conducted as follows:

• For the U-11 through U-13 age groups, a separate 3rd tryout is conducted in May following the standard 2 tryouts. Participation in the top level team tryout is by invitation only by the HC.  Any player interested in trying out for a top level team must attend a minimum of one of the standard tryouts to be eligible for an invitation to the top level tryout.
• For U-14, team will be selected through advertised individual team tryouts which are in May.
• For U-15 and older, team will be selected through advertised individual team tryouts which begin in May and end in the fall.

Typically as teams move from U-11 through to U-18, players are rostered from a broader geographic area. This must be accounted for during the planning stages and on-going operations of all top level teams. Teams will play all league and tournament matches under the WWPSA name.

Head Coaches are responsible for team formation and selection.  The HC will make the offer to each player and will be responsible for communicating the final roster to the Travel Executive in a timely manner.  In all cases, the Travel Executive shall have the final say in regards to a team’s roster.
