     Player Selection process:

       If the ADVANCE directors feel they have enough quality players tryout in a division to house a 

       "NATIONAL TEAM".   If you receive a National Team Invitation & accept the National offer, then

       like the Directors, the athlete will have to wait with Advance for the results of at least 8 invited

       National Players.   When Advance receives a minimum of 8 National Invites that commit. Then 

       and only then will Advance commit to a national team.  NOTE:  If the number of players fall 

       below eight players committing to a national team.  Then any player waiting will default and  

       be placed on a club team within that same division.  However to be fair, Advance will offer the

       players that did commit some alternative options just in case the National team falls thru.

    Options if you are selected for a National Team:

     During tryouts, If you have been selected to play for one of our "NATIONAL TEAMS": then you

       have a couple of options.  NO. 1 Option)  You can accept the National Team offer that will be a

       longer and more committed season (time & cost), and you can read about the differences on

       the "Cost & Fees" and "Tryouts" buttons on the top of the page.  NO. 2 Option)  After  

       evaluating the commitment & cost of a National Team and it is to much of a commitment, the

       player may opt for the Club or Regional team of the same age group.  NO. 3 Option)  The

       parents may still want the Regional Commitment instead of the National team commitment.  If

       this is the case they will have the option to check with the directors to see if their athlete is

       strong enough to play up an AgeGroup 

       (note; this option is only decided by parents and directors).  

       Final Option)  If the parents feel that their player is only a  National player and they will not

       accept one of the 1st three options or if not enough players commit to a National team to have

       one in their age group.  They can consult  with the directors and be released to go try and play

       for another club.  (again this has to be passed by director and parents).

      Recommendations for tryouts:

       We recommend all players tryout for their designated age group or grade accordingly.  The

       staff and your performance during tryouts will determined if you should be moved up to the next

       age level or qualify for a National team.

       Again, since we cannot predict the quantity or quality of players trying out, we cannot confirm 

       how many and what level of teams we will have.  However;  if we get enough quality athletes for

       2 teams in that division, we will have 2 teams in that division.  Example:  If we can support a

       National team and two Regional teams for an age group.  We will do that as well!!  All is pending

       on volume and quality of athlete that tryout.

     Coaches for each Age Group:

       Unfortunately we well not be able to assign coaches until we pic teams and determine what

       schools the athletes are from.   We have to hold to the Ohio High School Athletic Association 

       rules and to do that, the teams are picked first and then the coaches placed..  Sorry about that.
