All Select teams (3/4, 5/6, and 7/8) will be rostered based on a try-out opportunity and the prior season's evaluations, which include stickwork, athleticism, lax IQ, coachability and attitude. As this is the League's more competitive teams, playing time will not be even - it will be based on skills, fitness and attitude. Positions will be at the Coach's discretion and the League WILL NOT take parent feedback on playing time or positions. All players MUST participate in Sunday's rec league as well.
