2011 Tryouts on Tuesday February 15th
The BYLA will be holding annual tryouts for the teams shown below on Tuesday, February 15, 2011 at Sportsplex. This date will take the place of our normal Skills Session so if you are not trying out you will have a night off.
If your son or daughter is interested in trying out for the following team within their age group they must register with the Club to be considered.
Boys U15A 6-7pm
U13A 6-7pm
U11 Travel* 5-6pm
*There will be a competitive and non-competitive division this year for the U11 Boy’s only in NHYLA. An “A” and “B” team would be a better way to put it. Those boys that do not make the “A” team will default to the non-competitive “B” team and still play a travel schedule.
Girls U13A
U11 Travel
Email Roger Howe at president@bedfordcannons.org to register.
Contact the coaching coordinator if you have any questions.

Start of the 2011 Season
Parents and Players,
We begin the 2011 season this Tuesday with the start of our annual Skills Sessions. These sessions are included in your 2011 Spring fee for Bedford Youth Lacrosse and do not require any action on your part to sign up. By default you are already signed up and simply need to show up and begin your session.
Age group start times:
U11 (this includes travel candidates and Rec.) 5:00-6:00 pm
U13 and U15 6:00-7:00 pm
Boys will report to the new building (the first building you see as you approach Sportsplex) for check in and field assignment .
Girls will report to the older building (the smaller, second building as you enter) for check in and field assignment.
If you have not registered at all or your payment has not been received, you will not be able to take the field.
Please make sure you bring plenty of water.
Boys: Players should be fully equipped (helmet, arm pads/guards, shoulder pads, gloves, stick) and ready to play. Mouth-guards and athletic cups are mandatory. NO PLAYER WILL BE ALLOWED ON THE FIELD UNLESS THE PLAYER IS WEARING THESE TWO ITEMS. Helmets should also be adjusted and fitting properly.
Girls: Players should have mouth-guards and eye protection. NO PLAYER WILL BE ALLOWED ON THE FIELD UNLESS THE PLAYER IS WEARING THESE TWO ITEMS.

2010 Online Registration has closed
Registrations for the 2010 Bedford Youth Lacrosse Association Boy’s travel teams have closed. All rosters are full and we are now on a wait list for our U13 and U15 programs. If you still wish to register and be placed on the list, please contact our Boy’s Coordinator, Mike Desroche at mdesroche@insadjserv.com.
There is still room in our U11/Rec. program and we will continue to take registrations for this age group (10 and under to age 7). If you wish to register for this group, contact Roger Howe at rbh2lax@comcast.net.
There is limited space in our Girl’s U13 and U15 program. However, there is still plenty of room in the U11/Rec. program for girls. If you wish to register for these groups please contact our Girl’s Coordinator TJ Karanasios at tj@sportsandrehab.com.
Please note that registration for the 2011 season will begin in November 2010.
IMPORTANT TEAM INFORMATION FOR 2010!
Parents and Players,
BOYS:
If you are age 10 and under and wish to be considered for a U11 travel team, please email us at president@bedfordcannons.org. The evaluation for the two teams we will field in NHYLA is February 16th at NH Sportsplex at 5:00pm. The two teams will be split evenly with an equal number of experienced and less experienced players. There is no A, B, or C classification in this age group. However, because there are only two experienced head coaches available for this group we will only have 40 spots for two teams. Players that are evaluated and are not placed on a travel team will be placed on one of our eight Rec. teams. Any player in this age group that does not wish to be considered for a travel team will be guaranteed a spot on one of the teams in our Rec. program.
Boys playing in the U13 and age groups that wish to tryout for the “A” or “B” teams must submit their intentions via email to Roger Howe (president@bedfordcannons.org) before the February 16th tryout at NH Sportsplex. Time of the tryout will be at 6:00 pm. There will be three teams this year in each division, an A, B, and C. All registered players as of February 1st that are not on a wait-list are guaranteed a spot on one of these three teams. Once the A and B team is chosen the remaining C team will be formed.
If you have questions you may contact Mike Desroche (mdesroche@insadjserv.com) our Boy’s Coordinator or President, Roger Howe (president@bedfordcannons.org).
All players are encouraged to attend so that they are appropriately placed.
GIRLS:
If you are age 10 and under and wish to be considered for the U11 travel team, please email us at president@bedfordcannons.org. This team will be comprised of players from all four of our Rec. teams. The team will have an extra practice each week and play an NHYLA league game on Sundays. The players will also have their regular Rec. team practice each week and play their Rec. team games on Saturday morning.
Players in the U13 age group that wish to be considered for the “A” team must send their intentions to do so to us by February 16th. The tryout time for this team will be 6:00pm at NH Sportsplex. There will be two teams, an A and a C, in this group and all players registered are guaranteed a spot on one of these teams.
The U15 team will be playing as an “A” level team and still has several openings.
If you have questions you may contact TJ Karanasios (tj@sportsandrehab.com) our Girl’s Coordinator or President, Roger Howe (president@bedfordcannons.org).
All players are encouraged to attend so that they are appropriately placed.
THE PROCESS:
The evaluations (U11) and the tryouts (U13 and U15) are conducted with the help of experienced and skilled lacrosse evaluators. Each team is assigned two evaluators that are NOT affiliated with the team they are evaluating and are for the most part outside the BYLA program. The head coach for each team is the third evaluator and has final decision-making power on players that have been evaluated with equal skills and athletic talent. If a player is not at the evaluation/tryout, he/she will be placed based on the coaching staff’s knowledge of their abilities.
An added consideration is made in the U11 program where a player’s size and safety may enter into what team he/she may end up on.
Big Net Goalie Academy starts January 25th

UPDATE: Goalie clinic to include GIRLS!
Attention: We have made arrangements to expand the goalie clinic to include GIRLS! NH Tomahawks co-director, Derryfield School head coach and former Boston Cannons goaltender, Chris Hettler will be providing the BYLA program a clinic on goaltending technique and proper play of the position.
If you are interested in becoming a goaltender or have basic interest and wish to explore the position please send an email to Roger Howe at rbh2lax@comcast.net. This is a tremendous opportunity and we are fortunate to have such a resource so close to Bedford.
More information will follow. We will be finalizing this date shortly. Contact BYLA as soon as possible.
