Below are the answers to some questions we receive often. Please know that we will re-evaluate our rules and procedures at the end of this first year based on feedback from coaches.
We know that most schools don't register for NJCL that early. We do ask that you register by the first NJCL deadline (before the first price increase), which is December 1.
The topics are targeted at the varsity level, but there will be questions on each test that JV players should be able to answer. We've asked question writers to keep this in mind. And, of course, JV teams only play against other JV teams. So kids don't have to know everything; they're just trying to know more than their opponent. We did consider a separate JV topics list, but we were concerned about having enough writers to produce that many questions per round.
Two reasons: (1) if a player was ill or otherwise unavailable, we wanted there to be substitutes; and (2) since the topics list cover a wide variety of categories, you might want to use different players in different rounds depending on their strengths and weaknesses.
The names of players and alternates will be entered at the beginning of Round 1 testing.
Please read this document for an explanation of that process.
Latin League is entirely run by volunteers. Please know that we will respond to questions as quickly as we can.
