This is a quick note regarding The Boys Select League and competitive tryouts taking place this week.  

The Select League is the competitive program that MBYLL has developed for players that have a true interest in playing lacrosse at a high level.  This program is highly competitive, wins and losses are tracked, teams are ranked, and there is a championship playoff format at the end of the season.  LYL will field one team at the U15 level and one team at the U13 level at the Select level. 

SELECT TRYOUTS

Tryouts will be held at the Clark YMCA, Saturday March 7^th from 9 to 11am, and again on Friday March 13^th from 5:30 to 7:30pm.  We will select 16 full time players and up to 4 alternate players at both the U15 and U13 levels. 

The plan is that these teams will be coached by experienced coaches who will not have a child on the team.

Teams will be picked by a selection committee made up of High School Coaches.   Players need to come to these tryouts ready to play, they should be early, dressed in full equipment and ready to go as we only have a short time to evaluate the players.  We will start the tryouts at the exact time documented, keep in mind that each player will need to register at the registration table and be issued a pinny. 

Keep this in mind when planning your arrival time.   Parking on Saturday will be a challenge, there is a large swim meeting also taking place.

It is recommended that a player tries out both days as we will take the highest tryout score between the two sessions. Of course if they only tryout once then the single session score will be used. 

There will be additional costs for this program:

•          an additional $5.00 tryout fee will be charged for each session, or $10.00 total. This fee is for all who tryout and covers the cost of the CLARK rental.
•          any player who is selected for the team will be responsible for an additional cost for the season possibly up to but not exceeding $190.00 per player. 
•          this fee will cover the costs associated with all home games at Doyle field, league fees, Coaches Certifications, referees, and score keepers.
   

There are also expectations that must be met to play in The Select League.

•          We also expect that those players trying out for the Select programs will be committed to lacrosse as their primary spring sport. 
•          The Select players must make it to all the Classic program commitments in addition to the extra Select practice and game. 
•          You must participate in your Classic game the prior Sunday to be eligible to play in your select game the following weekend. 

If you have any Questions as always please feel free to reach out to  . 

This is an exciting opportunity for the U15 and U13 players.  We expect to be very competitive at both levels, and we would encourage any player that wants to excel at lacrosse, and gain the experience of a competitive tryout to take advantage of this opportunity.
 
Sincerely
Your Board of Directors
