BOYS - Tournament Teams
The Tournament Teams will be tryout only teams.  Boys who are interested in playing on a Tournament Team will have tryouts.  The Tournament Teams will play in 2-3 tournaments (TBD) through the season in addition to the 1 local tournament with their Conference Team.  They will also have one more practice per week.  

The Tournament Teams will have an added fee above the regular season fees.  It will be also be a requirement that boys on the Tournament Team register with US Lacrosse since many tournaments now mandate this.  The fee for registering with US Lacrosse is not included in the registration cost for the team.  Tournament games will be very competitive and playing time is NOT equal or guaranteed. It should be expected in close games that not all players will be given playing time. For other games that are not close, every attempt will be made to allow playing time for the more novice players. Expect travel with these teams as well as weekend stays.
