The Thunder Team Selection Process

Coach Selection:
All rec season coaches can apply to coach a thunder team. The league board selects all head coaches.   

Team Selection:
The main body of the Thunder Travel Team(s) will be named by an evaluation team. The coach is part of the evaluation team, along with other coaches, board members & appointees.  At least one member of this selection team to be someone that did not observe the girls during the season, so they would have to entirely depend on the tryouts for rating purposes. The girl’s play during the spring season will be considered during this process as well.  
 
The girls are given certain instructions & put through a selection of drills to rate throwing, catching, hitting, etc. They are rated on each skill & those ratings are used to select the team.

After the teams have been formed, asst coaches and managers are selected by the head coach, and will need board approval.

First and Second teams
The first team will be selected by the evaluators and the head coach. If a player does not make the first team, a second team may be formed if there is enough interest and a team staff can be found. 

If a player has been selected to play on the first team, they cannot opt to instead play on the second team. If they do not want to "make" the first team, they need to communicate their wishes on the application for consideration. A second team can be formed with any girls the coach wishes to place on their team. The players does not need to try out for the team. The coach of the second team does not need to take girls that didn't make the first team.

Division Name Changes for Spring 2012

To more effectively address the mix of player skill and age levels that we have this 2012 recreational season, we are making a minor adjustment to Divisional naming terminology.  This also allows us to have a compatible structure to that of the surrounding leagues.

The divisions previously known as 12U/MSD and 14U are now known as AAAA Green and AAAA Gold Divisions, respectively.   

The AAAA Gold Division team will still consist of the older / more experienced players and will play exclusively against teams from outside leagues.  The AAAA Green division consists of four teams and will mostly play within the BHGS league but also have  inter-league games against teams of a similar divisional level. 

 

Please contact Kelly Dierkes, Dale Grogan or Debbie Lettow with any questions.

 

Thank you,
