East Bay Bristol County Lacrosse Association is a developmental lacrosse program for boys and girls in the East Bay area of Rhode Island and Massachusetts. We serve: Barrington, Bristol, Warren, Riverside, Seekonk, Swansea, Somerset and Rehoboth.
East Bay Select Travel Team:
Two Grade Brackets: 5/6 & 7/8 (see Commitment Policy below)
East Bay Lacrosse is offering a high level of competitive play for boys in grades 5 through 8. Along with the rewarding level of play is an expected higher level of commitment as stated in the policy below. The program will provide the opportunity and venue for those individuals having the experience, skills and desire to play lacrosse at a higher level. Teams will be selected through tryouts held indoors in January and February with rosters announced in by early March. East Bay Lacrosse will provide one travel team in each grade level (5/6 and 7/8).
Games will be played at home and away against established competitive programs in Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut. There will be an additional fee for this program of $75 (in addition to the $120 base registration fee) to cover additional administrative and coaching expenses.
Total Cost: $195.00, after January 15th $245.00
There will also be a tournament team established from the competitive teams to play tournaments in June 2010. This will be an optional program but players on the Select Travel Teams will have automatic placement on the Tournament Team if they wish. Tournament Teams will have additional registration and tournament fees. The tentative tournaments are, The Camel Jam, The Granite State Classic and the NESLL Bulldog Classic. All tournaments end before summer is in full swing and are great fun and provide some challenging competition!
Commitment Level Policy for Competitive & Select Travel Teams
Same as Last Year:
All grade eligible players that reside in the towns covered by East Bay Lacrosse are eligible to try-out and play for the East Bay Lacrosse competitive/select teams. If your child is invited to play on one of the East Bay Lacrosse competitive/select teams, they will need to comply with the following Commitment Policy:
EastBay Lacrosse Competitive Level Player Commitment Policy
When a player accepts a position on an East Bay Lacrosse competitive level team (this includes RIYLL Competitive and East Bay Travel programs), he/she will be making a commitment to the coaches and every other player on that team. The team will be learning and practicing advanced methods of play that will only be meaningful if the entire team is involved in learning these methods.
Each player selected for a team will be expected to commit to the practice and game schedule throughout the Spring season. East Bay Lacrosse reserves the right to excuse a player from the team if the commitment requirement is not being met.
If a player demonstrates an inability or unwillingness to live up to the level of commitment required by the team, East Bay Lacrosse reserves the right to excuse a player from the team or recommend the player move to a non-competitive (recreational) team within the East Bay Bristol County Lacrosse Association.
Playing time at all levels will be determined by attendance at practice and games. Coaches will endeavor to play every player in every game, but the amount of playing time will be at the complete discretion of the coaches.
