The official 2025 National Games Guidelines will have a more detailed, and much longer, section regarding player eligibility. Eligibility is summarized below.
- Players must be registered in the MY2024 membership year.
- Players must have participated in a Regions Standard Primary Program or Approved Extra Program.
- Participation means that they played in at least 50% of scheduled games in the primary season.
- Teams with a mixture of boys and girls will be considered boys’ teams.
The intent of the Eligibility Guidelines is that participants will not join the organization for the singular purpose of participating in the National Games. The tournament is for players that participated during the Region’s regular season.
