Team Evaluations

When we have enough registered players at the 12U and 14U levels, team evaluations will be held to determine team placements at a A, B1, or B level teams.

2025 evaluations will be held during regular practices May 5-8.

Team placement announcements will be made by 10pm May 8.

We believe every player deserves the opportunity to develop, compete, and have fun while playing lacrosse. Our team evaluation and placement process ensures athletes are placed on teams where they will be challenged appropriately, continue developing skills, and build confidence both on and off the field.

Evaluations are held in a positive, supportive environment. Players will rotate through skill stations, small-sided drills, and scrimmage situations designed to showcase their abilities in game-like scenarios.

What We Evaluate:

Our impartial evaluators will look at several factors during the evaluation process, including:

• Stick skills (passing, catching, cradling)
• Shooting and accuracy
• Game IQ and decision-making
• Athleticism, speed, and agility
• Defensive positioning
• Coachability, effort, and attitude
• Team play and communication

Who Participates:

All players in the 12U and 14U age divisions must attend evaluations. This includes returning players and new athletes to the program.

Team evaluations are only held when registration numbers support forming two or more teams within an age group.

Evaluators:

Evaluations are conducted by impartial evaluators who are not assigned to coach a team within the age group they are assessing. This ensures objective placement process, focused solely on player development and appropriate team placement.

Following evaluations, players will be placed on teams based on:

• Skill level
• Positional needs
• Team balance and development goals
• Commitment and effort shown during evaluations

Our goal is to create competitive teams while ensuring all players are set up for success and growth.

All team placements are final.
