Playing time will be determined by performance on the field and effort in practice.
U 15 B Team Philosophy;
The U 15 B team is a developmental team that will place more emphasis on developing players than competition. This team is made up of those player that were not chosen for the U 15 A and U13 teams. It is a team where newer player and younger player have the opportunity to play and develop their skills. We will certainly try to win games, we are not going to make winning the main priority. While we cannot guarantee precisely equal playing time, we will make a concerted effort to give every player significant playing time each game. However, game situations may dictate substitution patterns preventing some players participating with significant minutes during the game.
For example, a player may be slated to go in on defense, but we get a penalty requiring us to substitute in our penalty killing team. It can take several minutes before we get another opportunity make a substitution.
We expect the same qualities from these players as indicated in the U 15 team Philosophy. The U 15 selection process will be more lenient as these players are developing their skills and knowledge of Lacrosse.
U 13 Team Philosophy;
The U 13 team is a developmental team that will place more emphasis on developing players than competition. We will certainly try to win games, we are not going to make winning the main priority.
