NKCA Members,
As many of you may be aware, there has been a great deal of national discussion regarding the age ranges a player would be eligible to play based on their date of birth and what grade they are in. After serious consideration over the years and recent national movement, our board of directors felt it is in the best interest of our program and our participants to add a grade component to our current age groups. The intended purpose is to allow those in the same grade to play on the same team. If you are eligible by age or grade, your player is eligible.

* Note, any player that is 2 years older prior to May 1st then the division, will not be eligible, regardless of grade.
This change will likely not impact many, if any, teams in our program. The age groups will remain the same. This change impacts those few players who may fall outside the date range but due to local/state schooling requirements regarding grade, may not have had the opportunity to play with their peers.
