Girls Valley Heat league

The upward and downward movement will be slightly different according to the Age group. Please see below.

• In 12s-18s Age Divisions, three teams move up or down in each sub-division
• In 11s, only two teams. Movement involves cross-age group transitions between 11s and 12s divisions.
• The top three teams in 11s advance to the 12s division, while the bottom three in 12s move to the 11s division.
• When transitioning from 11s to 12s, teams can maintain their one-step entry onto the court.
• When dropping from 12s to 11s, teams MAY adapt to 11s rules and CAN now be allowed to step into the court as needed to facilitate gameplay.

We understand that at this point some of the pools will be more competitive than others, therefore some strong teams might not be able to move up to higher divisions after League#1. However, with so many teams, and without the opportunity to see the teams before we ranked them for the qualifier, there was no way for us to determine the exact seed that each team should have received. With that said, we believe that after League #1 we would have a much better picture of all the Divisions and be able to balance the competition moving forward. 

Thank you all for your support.
