1. All new Select Tournament team managers must be approved by the SKGSL Board of Directors. Persons wishing to manage a SKGSL Select Tournament Team during the following season must submit a written proposal to the select team Commissioner prior to the July Executive Board meeting. This includes existing managers from the previous season. Late applications will be accepted prior to the August Executive Board meeting. Approval will be made at the August General Board meeting, which the new Select Team managers must attend. Existing managers who are requesting a team will be notified by the end of Nationals. 2. In the proposal, the manager shall confirm that the objectives of the SKGSL will be followed, as will the league’s Rules of Conduct. The manager must describe his/her special qualifications for the position, identify proposed assistant coaches, and the program that will be offered. 3. Select Tournament team managers must have participated with SKGSL the previous year as manager, assistant coach, active board member, or parent of a player. Special exceptions can be approved by a majority vote of the General Board. 4. Approved Select Tournament team managers may have tryouts any time after completion of the National tournament. 5. During the league season and the pre–season practice period, every effort will be made to avoid scheduling conflicts between the teams, whose games will normally be on Monday through Thursday, and Select Tournament teams, whose tournaments will normally be on Friday through Sundays. In the event of unavoidable conflicts, the following priorities will apply; A. League team games will take priority over Select/Tournament team practices Monday through Thursday. B. Select/Tournament team practices will take priority over League team practices Friday through Sunday. C. Select/Tournament team games will take priority over League team games Friday through Sunday. 6. The “season” for Select Tournament teams begins in September and runs throughout the playing year. Therefore, the requirements for those teams differ from those of the other teams. 7. It is the manager’s responsibility to establish the means by which girls are selected for the team. The only league requirement shall be that the manager notifies the appropriate age group Commissioner at least 10 days prior to any tryout. The Commissioner shall determine how notification of the tryout shall be given to league players. 8. Select Tournament teams are authorized to hold their own fund raisers and to recruit their own sponsors to support their travel plans and uniform expenses during the season, subject to the league’s Financial Policy regarding fund raising and tax exempt status.
9. SKGSL Select Tournament teams should seek to promote the integrity of all such teams. Players moving at any time during the playing year (September 1st through August 31st) from one SKGSL tournament team to another should be the mutual consent of both teams. If any such team adds a player who has signed a roster of another such team that playing year, without obtaining a written release from that team, the team adding the player will lose all rights, privileges, and affiliation with SKGSL. 10. The roster of Select Tournament teams must be finalized prior to the league’s first day of registration. Should the team wish to later pick up a girl playing on a SKGSL team, the manager must first notify the Commissioner of the interest and must follow league rules concerning roster changes. In addition to any other league rules the following shall apply: A. During the last 3 weeks of the normal league season a player can join a Select team but must finish all obligations with her league team. B. Players may move anytime from a League team to a Select team with the approval of the Commissioner and the Commissioner of Select Teams, but may not move from a Select team to a League team after the draft for League teams has been held. C. Players may not leave Select teams and tryout for, or play on, a League post season (i.e. All–Star) team. 11. To minimize potential conflicts of interest, approved Select Tournament team managers and coaches may not manage a League team in the same age group. 12. Managers that are approved for Select Tournament teams must agree in writing to the following: A. Follow all current and future SKGSL rules. B. Any item or situation not covered by SKGSL rules will be determined by a majority vote or the general board. C. Play in all the A.S.A. advancing tournaments. D. Play in the SKGSL Ronald McDonald and Scholarship tournaments. E. Assist the league in training, tryouts, and All–Star team selections as needed. F. Cost for the program is determined by the Board of Directors (currently $750.00 per team). G. Cost would cover insurance, practice time, and use of league equipment. H. Teams will be required to wear a SKGSL I.D. patch in the appropriate place on their uniforms. I. Any individual may be suspended or any team may be revoked by majority vote of the SKGSL Board of Directors. |
