TRAVEL TRYOUT SCHEDULE

Tryouts for travel teams that are formed in the Fall, begin practicing and playing indoors in November and play through July 2011 will be held on the following dates. Please mark your calendars.

You must register online for tryouts.

We recommmend that you attend both tryouts if there are two scheduled to give yourself the best chance of being selected. This is especially important for ages 12-13-14-15.

There is no cost. This is to allow us to plan, obtain a parent waiver and for you to show your interest in travel. For players in the age groups 16-19, we will not work much beyond December to form teams. If you wish to play, talk to your friends and make decisions about playing and commit to the team by registering for tryouts.

SHOULD A 7-YEAR OLD PLAY ON A 10-YEAR OLD TEAM? (an article submitted by Maureen Dracup, ODP and NY State West coach)

Why we don't allow playing "up" or out of your age group.

If a child is the best reader in the class, moving him out of the classroom and into the grade above is not typically considered. We might provide a more challenging book or focus on reading comprehension. So he can read, but does he remember and understand what he’s reading like the kids in the grade above can? We might even create a separate reading group to give him some opportunities to challenge his reading. But parents and educators recognize that there is much more needed to ensure proper development than being a good reader to justify moving up a grade in school.
