City Beach is aware of the guidelines set forth by the Central Coast Section (the governing body for high school sports in our area) regarding player eligibility and outside "competition." Our coaches represent many of the Varsity programs that are looking to play into post-season, and have a vested interest in this matter themselves.
We will maintain the CCS eligibility of the athletes at our tryouts by careful planning and mindful drill execution.
No-Competition Format
No team will play against another team, all exercises will be like "drills" and will not be a team of 3 or more playing against another team of 3 or more for any amount of time. All players will wave through and switch teams, and there will not be any scrimmage-like competition.
Overuse Concerns
City Beach is very conscientious of the potential for overuse injuries. We understand that players may have had a tournament the previous day, and that players may be attending multiple tryouts in one day. In the interest of protecting the health of those players in attendance, we intend to keep the number of swings per player to the minimum amount necessary to adequately assess talent.
Any players with injuries should mention their limitations to the staff so that we can help protect them.
