Independent Evaluation Process

The Youth Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas operates as an independent nonprofit organization. All athlete identification and evaluation is conducted independently of middle school and high school athletic programs.

Participation is based on involvement in recreational leagues and independent youth organizations only. This process is not affiliated with any school, school district, or state athletic association and is designed to protect student-athlete eligibility at all levels. No school-based teams, programs, or personnel are used in the identification or evaluation process.
