For Both Girl's and Boy's Program Participants
Evaluations are held in January and February to help us determine what team each athlete should be placed on. (Boys the weekend of 1/21 & 1/28 with callbacks 2/4 & 2/11)
(Girls are 1/8 and 1/15 with callbacks in early February, date TBD).
*** Evaluations are not just for A team placement. They also help balance our B and C teams. All players should attend at least one evaluation. Players interested in playing on an A team should attend all evaluations***
Teams are grouped according to age (boys) or grade (girls). Following evaluations, teams are grouped into A, B and potentially C teams depending on the amount of athletes who have registered and the skill level of those athletes.
An "A" player generally has all 3 attributes of a very good lacrosse player: Lacrosse IQ, stick skills, and athleticism. Most "B" level players demonstrate 2 of the 3 attributes. Most "C" level players demonstrate one of the attributes.
A Team Commitment- Players interested in being considered for an A team must attend all evaluations. Lacrosse should be the primary sport or out of school activity and practices and games should take priority over other activities. Practices will be 3 times per week beginning early to mid March and could take place at available fields from Purcellville to Leesburg. Players must attend all practices and games unless otherwise discussed with the coach. If your child can not make this commitment, please speak to one of the coaches at evaluation and your child will be placed on a B or C team. All registered players will be placed on a team.
B & C Team Commitment- Players interested in being considered for the B or C team in each division should attend all evaluations. Practices will be 2 times per week beginning early to mid March and could take place at available fields from Purcellville to Leesburg. Players should attend all practices and games unless otherwise discussed with the coach.
Practices- Will begin in early to mid March depending on weather and field status. Practice times vary depending on coaching availablity but usually after 5pm and run 1 - 2 hours depending on age and skill level. Practices may take place at fields in Purcellville, Hamilton, or Leesburg.
