Play-Up Request

Consideration to play up is a decision based on the child’s ability. In some circumstances other reasons may also be acceptable. The need for more players at a given level to support the organization is an example. A player will not be allowed to play up if it is determined to be detrimental to the development of the player’s hockey skills. USA Hockey designs the levels to progress with new skills and confidence added at each level.

By filling out this request your child will be evaluated independently and the board of the organization will make the final decision. If playing up will cause there to be too many players on the higher level team the play up request will be denied. Under no circumstances will a player moving up displace an age appropriate player.
