Power Select Tryouts and Evaluation Camp

Northern Power Select:

We are excited about our second season for Power Select! This is our most advanced spring team option for our 6th-8th grade boys! Our top coaches will coach our Power Select teams, have extra practice commitments, compete in an additional spring tournament, and receive a custom Power Gear package.  Power Select tryouts will occur as a Spring Evaluation Camp on November 22nd, with a supplemental tryout on December 20th. Power Select is only offered at the middle school level, with the occasional 5th grader playing up with an invitation.

AYL Divisions -- API Seeding System:

The AYL has announced that it will move away from the color system and use the API seeding system instead. Previously, there were three divisions: Red (Most Advanced), White (Advanced/Intermediate), and Blue (Beginner). This season, teams will be seeded by overall team skill level. We aim to have two teams for every age group, and the seeding they will have will place them against teams of similar experience and skill levels.

Power Select Tryouts and Spring Evaluation Camp:

Power Select Tryouts and Evaluation Camp is designed to place players on the appropriate team based on skill, athleticism, lacrosse IQ, and attitude. Players who do not make Power Select will be placed on regular spring Power teams. We strongly believe that all players should earn their spots, and tryouts are a great way for them to do this. There will be a supplemental tryout on December 20th in addition to this tryouts. We highly recommend players attend both tryouts for the most thorough evaluation possible. Since there isn't a Power Select option for 1st-5th grade, we will evaluate each player for team placement as we aim to have two teams per age group. Teams will be built based on overall skill level and experience to facilitate growth, making attendance necessary for all Northern Power Lacrosse players at every age level, regardless of what team they were on in previous seasons. 

***Every player who does not make the select teams is guaranteed a spot on our regular spring team programming.***
