NML Draft Information

Leagues in the Northwest Metro League will be created via a coaches draft.  All players are requested to attend the evaluations when scheduled.  Coaches will watch the players and it will conclude with a snake draft by the coaches.  Players, even coach's children, are not allowed into the draft.

Players not in attendance at the evaluations are added to teams alphabetically after all other players have been drafted.  
If a player signs up after the teams are formed, they are added to the next available team.

The child of the head coach is taken automatically as the 3rd round pick.  The assistant coach's child is taken automatically with the 4th round pick.  If either does not have a child, they can draft any available player with that selection.
