PLAYER REQUEST POLICY
Due to an unmanageable number of requests, Orillia Legion Minor Baseball has the following policy for special requests involving players.
Siblings who live in the same household and wish to play on the same team (if division ages permit) are the ONLY special requests that will be guaranteed. If you are submitting a request for siblings that live in the same household, you only need to submit one form.
In all other situations, OLMB will CONSIDER player special requests as follows:
- A player can request ONE other player they wish to play on the same team with. The other player must, in turn make the same request. OLMB will only consider requests where both players have requested each other.
- Requests to play with multiple players will not be considered. If more than one name is provided, neither will be considered.
- “Daisy chain” requests will not be considered. All requests have to be mutual.
- To ensure fair play, team balancing will take priority over special requests.
- Special requests regarding coaches will not be considered except in very serious circumstances.
- OLMB will not consider any special requests received after March 31.
- OLMB will not consider any requests that involve moving a player from a different household. You only submit requests concerning your own child/player.
Special requests are available to help families with extenuating circumstances when it is necessary to be on the same team as another player. They are not offered so that your child can play with all of their best friends, or so that a group of parents can coach together. Please do not make these requests and do not be upset if you do and they are not honoured. Our volunteers are only able to manage the volume of requests that are received if they are made within the policy.
If you are making a request so that two people can coach together, please ensure that you each submit the request for two players to be together, and also inform the league of your intent to volunteer so that head coaches and assistant coaches can be fairly distributed among the teams.
