All players should register and play in the division and tier according to their birth date. However some circumstances make it very difficult for this to occur and exceptions can be made providing the proper steps are followed.
The only exceptions are based on size, skill level, and any disabilities.
Under no circumstances will a player be given permission to play down on a tier 1 team except when that is the only team available in that division for that association.
Any player approved to play down is not allowed to be called up to any team in the division they were aged down from.
