Bellbrook Purple / Gold
Team Selection Team
selection will begin at
the first practice.
The two head
coaches at each grade
level along with their
staffs will evaluate all
players the first three
practices.
Players will be
evaluated on several
criteria: 1. Weight (those who are and are not eligible to carry the ball) 2. Speed, Quickness & Agility 3. Ball handling skills 4. Stance positions 5. Knowledge and experience of the game 6. Other After
that evaluation the two
head coaches will divide
the grade level into two
equal teams using a
draft system.
There will not
be an ‘a’ or ‘b’ team.
This selection
will be overseen by the
Football Director. SWBL
rules require players
once drafted to stay on
the same team from year
to year. The
draft of new players
will take place
following the third
practice. The
draft will work as
follows: Coaches
children will
automatically be on the
team they are coaching.
All players will be
grouped according to
those who are eligible
to carry the ball
(running backs) and
those who are not
eligible to carry the
ball (linemen). Head
Coaches will take turns
drafting the players
according to rank from
the first three days of
conditioning. The
rankings will not be
made public. If your
child is a returning
player, they will be
placed on the same team
that they played on
previously. Established
teams will then draft
new players as stated
above to ensure equal
teams. All
players should know the
color team that they
will be on by the fourth
practice. All team
placements are final.
Equipment and game
jerseys will be handed
out on a selected date
for Equipment Handout.
Both teams will be
wearing the same purple
jersey regardless if
they play for the purple
or gold team. We are all
Wee Eagle players and
play for Bellbrook. The
only consideration that
the organization makes
is for brothers.
The organization
ensures that brothers
will be on the same team
color for travel
purposes. The
football organization
and Cheerleading
organizations are two
separate organizations.
Siblings of
football players who
cheer will be performing
at home games only this
upcoming season. All
teams practice at
Carpool considerations
are not necessary. If
you have any questions
concerning the team
selection please contact
the Football Director,
Jeff Oldham first before
contacting the Wee Eagle
President, Lisa Pittman.
