ELIGIBILITY

• U15 – must be 14 or younger as of 12/31/2009
No player who is currently in his freshman year of High School is eligible to play U15 even if he is age-appropriate.

•   HS – Must be graduating High School in 2011 or later (no 2010 graduates).

•   All players must be current U.S. Lacrosse members prior to registration. Each team will carry a minimum of 18 and a maximum roster of 25 players.

TRYOUTS AND TEAM SELECTION
In the event that more than the target number of players for a team registers, Pittsburgh Select Lacrosse reserves the right to hold competitive tryouts and to extend individual player evaluation opportunities at early-Summer practices to interested and qualified players.

TRANSPORTATION, LODGING, MEALS & SUPERVISION are not included in the registration fee and are the responsibility of each parent. It is expected that most parents will want to accompany and watch their sons participate. In any event, parents are responsible for arranging transportation to and from the tournament site and providing supervision for their sons “off the field”.

PRACTICES
Ten two-hour (max 12) practices will be held during June and July. Two practices per week will be held from approximately 6:00pm to 8:00pm on two evenings per week on either Mondays/Wednesdays OR Tuesdays/Thursdays. We will post exact times and field locations for the Fall and Summer practices as they are confirmed (South Hills team practices will likely be held at Cook School Field) and will also be posted to the website calendar and forwarded to each team member. In addition to the practices, we hold at least one intraclub scrimmage during the Summer as well as a planned season-opening playday and a planned late-June playday against other agreeable and insured local clubs.

TEAM MANAGERS
To provide the best communication possible, each team will have a “Team Manager.” This parent will be in charge of communication with their teams. This will include alerting parents/players of practice cancellations via the Sports Logic team management system due to weather, team social events at tournaments (if desired), and distribution of any club communication to parents/players. The team manager will be the first point of contact (after checking your Sports Logic team page!) if there are any questions concerning logistics and/or questions or concerns regarding the club.
