2011 Season is off to a great start!

We are already into our second week of Skills Sessions and the 2011 season is off to a great start. Our rosters for some age groups are already full and we are in a wait list situation. Email notices will go out to those registered players that sent in late registrations to inform you where you stand if you are on a wait list. The following groups are currently at capacity and we are not accepting any further registrations unless the player is willing to be wait-listed.

Girls- U15 and U13. Room is still available for U11 travel candidates and Rec.

Boys- U13. Room is still available for U15, U11 travel candidates and Rec.

Currently, our Boy’s U15 program has room for several U13 players to move up and fill some open roster spots. If you are a U13 boy and would like the opportunity to be considered for a spot on any of the three teams (A, B or C) we will field this season, please let us know. As we have done in the past, your choice to move up must be approved by the Boy’s Coordinator and it will be based on skill and ability as well as a player’s individual safety. It will also be first come, first served for these spots. There are seven spots as of this notice that are available.

Please read and understand the protocols BYLA will follow as you make your decision to play up to the U15 age group:

1. Candidates electing to play up will be allowed to try out for the “A” team.
2. If your son does not make the “A” team after trying out, he will be placed on the appropriate team he is evaluated for. He will NOT be placed back down into the U13 program.
Example: Johnny S. does not make the “A” team and is evaluated as a “B” level player. He will be placed on the U15B team. He will not go back to the U13 age group and be placed on the U13A team or other U13 team.
3. We cannot guarantee who will be your son’s coach for the 2011 season. Head coaches will be permanently assigned after tryouts.
4. The Club’s refund policy will be strictly followed.

Contact Boy’s Coordinator Mike Desroche (mdesroche@insadjserv.com) or President Roger Howe (president@bedfordcannons.org) if you have any questions.

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.
