Twining Thunderbirds Athletics

For most sports there will be two levels of play: an A-level and a B-level.  The levels develop the athlete's skills with fair competition for the skill level that meets the athlete’s ability.

A-Level

This level will play a schedule of out of town teams along with playing other A-level teams in the Grand Forks school district.  

Buses will be provided for any out of town competition.  Playing time is not equal but a player should receive a minimum of 33% of any game they attend. A player's position is a factor also on the amount of playing time an athlete receives.

B-Level

This level will play the majority of games within the Grand Forks school district with limited or no games played with out of town schools. Wins and losses are not the emphasis for this level but the development of skills to improve the athlete’s ability in the sport.  Playing time should be as equal as possible.
