Playing Outside your Division
In some cases, the Player Agents may place a player in a lower or higher division. This is done with the intention to place each child in a situation where they can have fun and develop their skills. It is TLLL’s priority to ensure player safety, and foster a love of the game in an environment that sets all children up for success.
