Dear DC Metro Registrants,

Thank you for signing up for the DC Metro US Lacrosse National Tournament tryout this Sunday, April 26, 2015. Please read this email carefully as it contains important information for the day.

Registration will open at 7:30 AM at St. Stephens and St. Agnes School (1000 St. Stephens Rd, Alexandria, VA 22304) and close at 8:00 AM. Please arrive with your confirmation page and $50 cash. You will receive your group number and pinnie for the morning session. Immediately following registration, parents are asked to leave the premise as these tryouts are closed. The morning session will begin with introductions on the football field at 8:15 AM. You will rotate through 10 stations which will conclude at 12:00 PM. Please note that bathrooms will not be available until 8:00 AM.

Please wear dark shorts (navy or black), and a plain white t-shirt. Please make sure there are no high school, club or college logos of any kind on your apparel. You may flip your clothes inside out to hide logos. Small brand logos such as Nike or Under Armour are ok. Headbands, hair accessories and socks must be neutral in color, white, navy, gray or black. Players who do not comply with apparel guidelines may be asked to remove or reverse the item. All athletes will be given a tryout pinnie to wear over their t-shirt. Absolutely no jewelry. Of course, please bring your stick, goggles, mouth guard, water bottle, cleat/turfs (tryouts are on turf), snacks, and a bagged lunch. The weather is not looking great for Sunday so please plan accordingly. A rain coat, layers, and a change of clothes are all suggested. Remember there can be no logos (high school or club) on your rain gear.

There will be an Athletic Trainer available during tryouts. If you are in need of taping before tryouts please plan to arrive promptly at 7:30 AM. There is only one ATC on staff, so please plan ahead so you are not late to the beginning of tryouts. Should an injury occur during tryouts, please seek the help of the ATC immediately.

The stations will break at noon for lunch. All participants are expected to stay on campus and have lunch. At 1:00 PM, the athletes who scored in the top 25% of the pool will be sent home and asked back for the second day of tryouts. The athletes who scored in the bottom 25% of the pool will be cut. The athletes who have scored in the middle range will continue to tryout in the afternoon session. Tryouts will be completed by 4:00 PM.

Final teams will be announced via the Potomac Chapter US Lacrosse website by Tuesday at noon. Those athletes who make the team will return for a team placement tryout at St. Johns College High School on May 3.

***Please be advised that you will be evaluated and placed on a team according to the position you registered for. During the tournament you will also play this position. If for some reason you need to change your position, you need to email Janet McCormick (janet.mccormick@holton-arms.edu) BEFORE 10 AM tomorrow. In order to create a fair and organized tryouts, requests cannot be accommodated after that deadline. ***

Good luck Sunday!

Best,
Janet McCormick & Mindy Urick
DC Metro Sub-Regional Coordinators
