IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING AGE/DIVISION It is EYBA's policy that NO over-aged players are allowed in any division. Regardless of how close a player may be to a lower division in terms of their birthday, playing down an age group is not permitted (the only possible exemption would be for players with severe medical/physical disabilities) and any exemption needs to be approved by SBA and EYBA. That being said, players may MOVE UP to play in an older division; this has to be determined by SBA and division/team availability. Priority will be given to players that are within the exact age group of their registered team/division.
