Raptors Nation -
We will be holding Raptors Red (Elite) Level Boys Lacrosse Evaluations on two days this fall. These evaluations are MANDATORY for anyone who would like to be considered for a 3rd grade through 8th grade Raptors Red (Elite) BOYS team in the spring 2019. However, we encourage all 3rd grade through 8th grade players (all ability levels) to attend these evaluations for Spring 2019 Raptors teams.
Age relevant Elite coaches will evaluate players, and this feedback will be helpful for Spring 2019 placement whether or not your player is placed on an Red (Elite) level team (feedback will be provided to White and Blue level coaches). Players who do not wish to tryout for a Red (Elite) level team can choose not to attend Red (Elite) evaluations, and in those cases we will assign players to the appropriate White and Blue teams based on a players' experience and past coaches' input. See below for more details on the Red (Elite) Level Evaluations
Cost:
Evaluations are $10 and you must register to participate – no walk ups. Register by October 8th and receive a Raptors Lax t-shirt
Dates:
To be considered for a Raptor’s Elite team a player MUST attend one of the evaluation dates - October 28th or November 3rd. We highly recommend that you attend both dates.
