League Structure & Competitive Balance

To promote fair and competitive play, the Winter League features two divisions based on player experience and program strength.
While the NYSPHSAA uses four classes and multiple leagues to create parity, we achieve similar balance through these divisions:

Masters Division

  • Typically composed of 11th, 12th, or Varsity-level players

  • May also include teams from programs with a strong record of success

Emerging Division

  • Typically composed of 8th, 9th, 10th, or JV-level players

  • Designed for developing teams and programs that are still building experience

Note: House of Sports reserves the right to review and adjust team placement to ensure the most competitive matchups possible.
