Level III Policy on Players unable to attend Tryouts
Circumstances sometimes arise when a player is
unable to attend Tryouts. In such a case FCBC will still allow such players to
eligible to be drafted in the OPEN DRAFT. However, players not attending
Tryouts may not be drafted by a coach or an assistant coach
for whom they have previously played
at any level
(this is in order to protect the integrity of
the League by eliminating the opportunity for a coach to attempt to hide a
player). Players must complete a player profile card BY FRIDAY, February 20th
and submit that to FCBC either by FAX, EMAIL, or DROPPED OFF. Profile cards will
be accessible on the FCBC website - under Level III - Coaches will
only use the information on this card in considering Non-Tryout players.
Due to this, you must make sure that your information is complete and accurate.
There are no additional Tryouts provided for this Level other than the posted
organized event, nor are outside private tryouts permitted or allowed by the
coaches of this Level.
TRYOUT:
Will be held at the Edge Sports Center: I-25 and East Mulberry next to
McDonalds in February of each year. Please see
