Juniors International Team Tryouts
Juniors International tournament team tryouts have been rescheduled for this Monday the 22nd at Valley Forge Middle school 6-730PM.
Depending on the number that want to play, coaches availability, and the interest from the other leagues, then there may be an “invitational” tourney designed for those that want to continue to play one more round and do not make it past the district level This tourney is designed to include first, those that did not play on the International team, and then can be filled with those that want to continue to play a bit longer into the summer. This all happens after the conclusion of district level International play.
To the parents, please be informed that it is expected that your son will be available to make as many practices and the games as humanly possible. If you have a scheduled vacation over the period of the tournament, please let it go so that someone else can fill that position in the lineup who will be available to play.
The tournament will be a double elimination tournament that will start on or about July 5th and run approximately 2 weeks. Might only last a couple of days if you lose. If you continue and win at the district level, the same procedure then is used at the sectional level, then again at state level, again at regionals, and finally at national. Potentially could play the entire summer. Odds are very, very long for that scenario and has never happened to any of our teams or any in the area. We have made it into sectionals but that is a far as any have ever gone at the Juniors level. Just want you to be aware.
This is a tremendous amount of time, effort, commitment and work on the part of the coaches. Please show your appreciation by supporting in any way possible. We will be hosting games as well as playing in them and it may mean we/they will need you to act as the head official game director at a game that our team is not even participating in, as well as some other duties such as field preparation, food supply to the teams following the games, passing the hat or whatever capacity the coach asks for help with. I alone have been putting in 25 plus hours/week supporting Devon Strafford’s program enabling your children to reap the benefits of our wonderful program and most of your coaches are doing the same and more. Please help them in anyway you can!!! This doesn’t happen by accident.
