Bedford Youth Lacrosse

SKILLS SESSION on MARCH 13th WILL BE HELD!

The skills session schedule for Tuesday, March 13th will be held at the regular times at the Bedford Sportsplex!

2012 Season Evaluation Day – Feb 21st

 

The BYLA will be holding annual evaluations for the teams shown below on Tuesday, February 21, 2012 at Sportsplex. This date will take place during our normally scheduled Skills Session. If you are not trying out you will have this session off. Rec. players will have their regular session as normal.

If your son or daughter is interested in trying out for the team within their age group they must register with the Club. Players that do not make the rosters they are trying out for or choose not to be evaluated will be placed on a team based on what is known of their skills and experience. All players will make a team that are currently registered.

 

2012 Evaluation Schedule

Boys  U15A                           6-7pm
           U13A (2 teams)          6-7pm
           U11 Travel*                 5-6pm       (open to all 9 and 10 year olds. Younger players must be approved for travel by the Coaching Coordinator)  

*There will be a Competitive and Non-competitive division again this year for U11 Boy’s in NHYLA. Those players that do not make the Competitive team will default to the Non-competitive team and still play a travel schedule. Depending on how many boys elect to try out will determine whether or not BYLA submits a third U11 travel team.

Girls               U11 Travel**   5-6pm        (open to all 9 and 10 year olds. Younger players must be approved for travel by the Coaching Coordinator)

** The GU11 age group within NHYLA does not separate into Competitive and Non-competitive divisions like the boys. Instead, multiple teams must be split into evenly skilled rosters and will play other travel teams from other towns. Depending on how many girls elect to try out will determine whether or not BYLA submits one or two teams.

The Girls U15 and U13 rosters are full and will not be holding evaluations. Late registrations will be placed on a wait list.

Please make sure you are registering for the evaluations. To prepare for this event properly we must have an idea of who is electing to be evaluated for these teams. Walk on registrations are discouraged.

Email Roger Howe at president@bedfordcannons.org to register.

Contact the appropriate coaching coordinator if you have any questions.

We’re still holding Skills practice today

Good afternoon parents and Players,

In spite of the bad weather earlier today, we will keep this session of the Skills practice open today. The storm is winding down according to all reports and the radar. Sportsplex has insured me that the parking lots and entrances will be cleared.

Since it is almost a certainty that the schools will be closed tomorrow we will want to make sure we are running the kids hard tonight so they will sleep in late tomorrow keeping our homes nice a quiet for a while!

Please be safe as you venture out and do not trek out onto the roads if you do not feel safe. No one is penalized for not showing up
