Dear Parents:
We will be having try-outs for our Boys U-13 Full Throttle Travel
Summer team on April 2nd and 4th. All Harborfields
Lacrosse Club members, currently in 6th or 7th Grades are encouraged
to try out for the team.
The goals of this program are to provide a competitive alternative
to the athletes playing for the Club who want to play additional
games beyond the spring season and to the extent possible, allow
all these boys and girls to continue to develop as a cohesive
group.
As you are aware, there are many summer lacrosse tournaments
on Long Island (and elsewhere) and many more “Select” Teams
that provide opportunities for children to play in these tournaments. What
we have done with this program is allow the Athletes of the HLC
the opportunity to play at this level with the teammates that
they will be playing with in the future. Additionally, we want
to minimize expenses for the families in the community looking
for that level of competition for their children. As you
would expect, not everyone can participate in this program, as
many as 60 might be trying out for approximately 20 spots.
COACHES:
Again this year the Team will be selected and coached by Rocco
Guglielmo and Rick Lowe. Rocco was an All American Lacrosse
player for Roanoke College; he has recently been selected to
be a member of the Long Island Metropolitan Lacrosse Hall of
Fame. Rick was a member of the English all National Team
in the World Lacrosse Championships. Both are accomplished
lacrosse players and coaches and we are lucky to have them guiding
our summer travel teams.
PRACTICES:
The players selected for the team will practice at least one
evening a week starting in June.
TRY-OUT DETAILS:
As indicated above the Try-outs will be held on April
2 from 7:00pm – 9:00pm and on April
4 from 9:00am – 11:00am. The
Try-outs will take place rain or shine and will be held on a
turf field at Manor Field Park - On E. 5th Street between Park
Avenue and Lenox Road (next to Armory). Players are required
to bring all equipment including a reversible pinny.
Registration -NOW CLOSED
COST AND EXPECTATIONS:
Depending upon the number of players selected, we anticipate
that the cost for the U13 Boys Team will be between $400 and
$500 to pay for coaches, tournament fees and uniforms. There
will be a need for a hotel stay for the UMASS tournament but
that is the only additional coast anticipated. While the
cost of our program is considerably less then some other “for-profit” summer
programs (which can run as high as $2000), we do understand that
even at this price it is a financial commitment. We do
not want cost to be a limiting factor for anyone; we want the
best players to play period. So if your child makes the
team and there are special circumstances we will help you to
make it work.
It’s expected that Boys selected for the team participate
in all practices and tournaments, with the only valid excuses
for absences being planned family vacations.
Full Throttle activities will not interfere with HLC Club games
or practices nor will they conflict with Oldfields Middle School
Games/Practices.
Please direct any questions to your applicable grade coordinator.
Sincerely, HLC Board |
