How are teams selected?
Teams are selected in line with the Saints philosophy. Players are placed in their own age group unless special circumstances apply. Current financial players have precedence over new or former players.

Unfinancial players will not be placed in new season teams.
The Saints cannot guarantee that there will be a suitable team every season and so reserves the right to not select every child. Reasons will be given to parents in the very unlikely event that non selection occurs. The Club also reserves the right to alter teams at any time, ie, move, add, or remove players, if it believes this is in the best interests of those involved.
