Teams may borrow players from teams either in the same age group (but a lower grade) or a younger age group that is the same grade, lower grade, or one grade higher (eg 11C team borrows a player from 10B or lower). It is expected that a team would release any spare players if it is possible. The process for borrowing players is:

• Contact the team manager from appropriate teams.
• Ask for a player if they have one available - there is no guarantee they can release a player so have a couple of teams in mind.
• The team manager contacts the team coach to discuss the matter - ultimately it is the coach's decision as to which player can be borrowed.
• The team manager contacts the requesting team as soon as practical to advise the outcome.
