To enable our Coaching Professionals to balance the clinics at each level and maximize each player's development, we are holding tryouts to participate.  There will possibly be two tournament teams assembled from the ESD participants.  Each team will participate in one tournament during the spring program.  Tournaments will be an additional cost.  Players should only consider this program if they are interested in trying out for the highest-level Fall travel teams. The program fee is $500 for Squirt/Peewee/Bantam/Midget levels; $470 for Mites.
