Dear Parents:
We will be having try-outs for our Girls U-11 Full Throttle Travel
Summer teams in late April or early May. All Harborfields Lacrosse
Club members, currently in 4th or 5th 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 a re 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 50 might be trying out for approximately 20 spots.
COACHES:
This year the Team will be coached by Jennifer Skipper who currently
plays a prominent role on Quinnapiac University's women's lacrosse
team. Jenn is a Harborfields High School graduate where she was
a four year varsity starter in soccer and lacrosse, a three-time
All-League member and an All-County lacrosse player. Jenn was
also the first female recipient of the Harborfields Lacrosse Club's
Scholarship. Jenn coached this Full Throttle Team last summer,
she will arrange for another assistant and we are fortunate to
have her coach this team again.
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 in late April or
early May, all players must register at the link below
by April 15th 2009.
Registration -NOW CLOSED
All players who register will be notified of the try-out dates,
via email at least a week prior to the try-outs. Participation
in the try-outs will require all equipment including a reversible
pinny, the attached consent form and a $20 try-out fee in cash
or check made out to Harborfields Lacrosse Club.
COST AND EXPECTATIONS:
Depending upon the number of players selected, we anticipate
that the cost for the U11 Girls Team will be between $250 and
$350 to pay for the coaches, tournament fees and uniforms. 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 Girls 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.
Please direct any questions to your applicable grade coordinator.
Sincerely, HLC Board
