SMNLL recommends that players be registered into their age appropriate divisions, but there is no guarantee that all players will be assigned to their respective divisions. After Player Assessments, the Commissioner and Division VPs will consider which division is most appropriate for each player based on the number of teams in each division, skill level and experience.
