Warrenton Youth Sports Club allows parents/players to request a WAIVER to allow their player to “play up” one age group. Requests and any approval granted are for one travel basketball year (Spring through Winter). Requests are by written application only by the parent or legal guardian. While the Warrenton Youth Sports Club does not recommend that players play up, the League’s leadership does recognize that there may be a number of factors, including but not limited to, size, maturity, experience, and exceptional skills that may warrant a child’s ability to play up. Returning players will be assigned to an age appropriate team. Age waivers must be filled out prior to attending tryout and can be found by clicking HERE.
