Playing Levels / Teams
·         There are 5 different levels players will be put into these different levels based on age and weight.

·         Each of the 5 different levels will have two different divisions Pac 10 (developmental teams) and Big 10 teams (Highly Competitive teams)
·         At the Feather weight and Middleweight (Because of the amount of players at those levels) there is another division called the Mac 10. They are more competitive than the Pac 10 but not as competitive as the Big 10
