NASA REGISTRATION POLICIES AND RULES

1. Team Formation
   1. The team formation process will occur using the following guidelines:
      1. maintaining the same roster from the previous season
      2. gender
      3. age
      4. balancing volunteer coaches
      5. balancing team roster sizes
   2. New players will be placed on existing rosters or placed on newly formed teams accordingly. This method will continue through each age level with effort made to keep the core team from the previous season together if possible. Note:  There may be times when a team will need to be split up and the players put on different teams or when a few players may need to be moved from one team to another to ensure adequate and equitable roster size.  This will occur at the discretion of the Board.
   3. A new player is defined as
      1. a player new to NASA or
      2. a player that has sat out one or more seasons (for any reason).
   4. Players registering on or before the registration deadline will be placed on the team they played with the previous season when possible.
   5. Players who register after the registration deadline may not be guaranteed placement on a team, and will not be guaranteed placement on the team they played with the previous season. If a team is to be split or merged with another team, generally the team that returns the fewest team members from the previous season will be the team split up or merged.  In the case of a tie, a team or teams out of the tied group of teams will be chosen at random to be split up in order to field teams of adequate roster size. If a player is not placed then a refund will be made.  If a player is already placed on a team a refund will only be made upon board approval.
   6. If the head coach of a team has decided not to continue to coach, and another head coach has not been identified to fill the vacancy, then the team will be split up and the players will be distributed over the remaining teams as groups of players, whenever possible.
   7. U8 teams will consist of a maximum one head coach and one assistant coach unless approved by the Governing Board. U9 and above teams will consist of a maximum one head coach and up to two assistant coaches unless approved by the Governing Board.  Coaches must be age 21 or over.
2. Playing Up
   1. Any player wishing to play up must make a formal request to the NASA Governing Board.  The Board will contact coaches familiar with the player who are able to evaluate the player to determine the viability of such a request.  The Board’s decision will be final.
3.  Team Placement Request
   1.  If parents are dissatisfied with their current team they may petition the Board to be moved from that team.  The player will be placed on another team at the discretion of the Board
