Team Assignments

We encourage each of you to be as flexible as possible concerning with whom you want to play. Playing with different folks each year can be an enriching and rewarding experience and many new friendships have been formed this way at CSSA. In forming our teams this year, CSSA will follow the following priorities in the order listed:

1. Returning player from LAST SUMMER.
2. New Player(s) – Only one first year player may be placed on the same team with the person responsible for bringing them into the league, if requested.
3. Former Players - Anyone who did not play in the regular summer season last year, but has played with us in any of the past three (3) years, in either the regular season or the fall ball season, will be considered “former players” and will be assigned as needed.
4. Immediate – Family Members (Husbands, Wives, Sons, Daughters, Sisters, Brothers)
5. Significant Personal Needs (Need to carpool over long distances, etc.)
6. Equality/Parity of team competencies. (Spreading out the talent)
7. Payment - Anyone whose registration form or fee is received after the deadline will be assigned, if needed, based on league needs. Refunds will only be considered if you have a season ending injury or death of an immediate family member.
