Player Agent- The draft
When it is the day for the draft the Player Agent
is the most important person in the room. He or
she goes over the rules and regulations before
the draft begins and answers any or all
questions that may come up.
Player Agent- The draft
Let’s go over some of the normal rules:
1. Reverse order of last year team standing
2. Brother and sisters must go in the first 3 rounds
3. Manager’s child must be taken in the first 3
rounds
A- Age 12 within first 3 rounds
B- Age 11 within first 4 rounds
C- Age 10/9 within first 5 rounds
Player Agent- Trading
Note- Coaches should be picked after the draft
is completed, then players may be traded
Trading players can happen only after the draft;
this is with the approval of the player agent,
manager, and the board of directors.
This is usually due to a request by a parent or
a coach
Problems of this nature should be in writing
and reviewed by the board of directors
Player Agent- Post Draft
Now that the draft is over the Player Agent
is still in high gear!
Once teams have been picked and trading is
finished the player agent must make sure all
managers or coaches call all the team players
and informs them they have been selected to
his or her team. The manager or coach talks to
the parent, introduces him or herself and gives
a quick over view of their practice schedule
and their expectations of the players. The best
way to do this is a team meeting.

minors to replace players lost during the
