Ross Valley Lacrosse Club

Girls Registration is now open.

U15 and U13 girls may only register at the invitation of the Club, as a result of the try-outs held on 11/9
U11 girls may register on first come, first basis. U11 girls first team is currently full. Please add your name to the wait list. If we have enough additional girls on the wait list, the club MAY consider fielding a second team. We will notify all families on the wait list of our decision as soon as possible.

Boys Spring '09 Try-out Information

Try-outs will be held at Drake High School on 11/23 and 12/7, according to the following schedule
U-15 (boys born in 1994 or 1995) 10 - 11:30 am.
U-13 (boys born in 1996 or 1997) 12 - 1:30 pm.
U-11 (boys born in 1998 or 1999) 2 - 3:30 pm.
U-9 (boys born in 2000) do not need to try-out. Sign-ups for this level will still be done on a first come, first served basis when registration starts in December.
Note, while we would prefer to see your son at both try-outs, he does not need to attend both sessions in order to make a team. However, failure to attend at least one of the tryouts may affect adversely your son’s opportunity to make any of the teams. If you cannot make the try out date, please email me at bill.cummings@yahoo.com to explain the reason for your son’s unavailability.
Please have your son only come to the try-out that is appropriate for his age (see above). In certain cases, we will let a boy play up to the next higher level. But it will only be at our (the Club’s) discretion, not the parents. We know playing with one’s friends is important. But in the long run, once we get through this transition year, it will be better for all concerned if our teams are composed of boys that are the same age and (general) level of physical development.

What do we need to bring to try-outs?

All boys trying out will need their full equipment- helmet, gloves, stick, shoulder pads, arm pads and mouthguards. Cups are always strongly encouraged. We will be supplying numbered pennies for the boys to use during the try-out. But please make sure they get returned to us in case they come home.

Your son must bring a signed medical waiver to the try-outs (see below). And as always, he must have a valid US Lacrosse Number.Please go to the US Lacrosse website (link below) to make sure your son’s number is valid if you don’t already know.

When Will Registration Be?

We will be contacting the boys that have been selected to be one one of our teams on 12/8 & 9, then the registration period will run from 12/10 – 19. If you are offered a space and do not register during that period, we will offer your son’s spot to the first person on the waiting list for that team. I will send out another email in a few weeks with more details about the registration process.

These changes represent a somewhat dramatic change in direction for our club. But ultimately, we believe our club, and the boys and girls playing with us (yes, we are making the same changes on the girls side), will be better off. Having said that, if anyone can secure us additional field space, we are happy to revisit fielding more teams.

We look forward to seeing your sons out on the field in a few weeks. Until then...

Go Grizzlies!
