FEMALE MIDGET AAA TRANSFERS
If a region does not declare a team by July 1 of the current season it will be declared an open region (for that season only) and players from said region will be free to tryout with another regional AAA team. If a player does not register with their home region by the pre-determined deadline set by the region, they are not eligible to apply for a release if her region does not form a female midget regional team. The region must advertise their respective deadlines in a timely manner. Those regions forming AAA Female midget teams must accept out-of-region players for their selection/tryout process.
Players cut from a Female Midget regional program will be allowed to try out for another Female Midget regional team. A release is required in the form of a letter signed by the appropriate regional Director or Female Council representative.
