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.

U13/15 Boy Defensive Long Pole Skills sessions

Any U13 or U15 boy that wants to learn and work on there defensive long pole skills can report to NH Sportsplex in the new building at 5:30 each Tuesday before their regularly scheduled session at 6:00PM. Coach Mike Desroche will be going through basic stick skills, body positioning, footwork and techniques for those boys that have committed to the defenseman position.

These short sessions will begin with the basics and progress to more advanced drills.

You do not need to sign up, just show up.

Bedford Cannons 2009 Fall Ball program for Lacrosse

Parents and Players,

Here are the details for the 2009 Fall Ball program for Lacrosse at NH Sportsplex.

U-9 (loosely defined as 7 and 8 year olds),

3rd and 4th graders

5th and 6th graders

7th and 8th graders

There will be a team at each level, boys and girls, provided a minimum of ten players sign-up for each team. I would like to cap the rosters size at 13 players. This will allow enough playing time for all and cover a short roster if we don’t have all players show up for a game. Since the roster sizes will be limited I encourage you to get your registration into me ASAP.

This program is not open to high school players.

Girls will play on Friday evenings starting at 6:00pm

Boys will play on Saturday afternoon starting at 1:00pm

These days and times were chosen with football, soccer and cheerleading in mind. It was decided that out of all the possibilities, these will work best for those families that wish to participate and not have conflicts with games or practices.

The format will be 7 on 7 (2 attack, 2 middies, 2 defensemen and a goalie, girls will be a similar make-up). Standard indoor rules apply. Referees will be controlling the games and standings will be kept.

The schedule will begin September 11th (girls) and September 12th (boys) and will commence eight weeks later on October 30th and 31st. A playoff possibility is being discussed for the following weekend of November 6th and 7th.

For more information go to: http://www.nhsportsplex.com/udp.php?id=19

Fees: 75.00 per player. Checks should be made out to NH Sportsplex.

Please fill out the form from NH Sportsplex linked below and send it to the address below. If you send it to NH Sportsplex you may not end up on a Bedford team. Circle “Fall” and disregard the 99.00 fee. I will organize the teams and get the fees sent to Sportsplex so that our teams are registered as a unit.

Please send the form to:

BYLA
PO Box 10182, Bedford, NH 03110

If you can help coach a team, please send me an email at my address below.
