letter.

The
procedure for releasing a player in the off-season is as follows:
The
player and parents must submit a letter to the League President, Division
Vice-President, or Player Agent explaining why they want to be released from
the team. A meeting will be scheduled first with the manager and coaching
staff, and then with the parents in an attempt to reconcile the situation. =
It
is the goal of the Board to not move players. If the problem is with a coac=
h,
manager, or teammate then the player must remain in the same division. This=
is
to stop the manipulation of tournament teams. The Board of Directors must
approve any changes. A letter with the final decision will be sent to the
parents from the Player Agent and a copy will be kept in the player’s
file.
