General Information
The try-outs will be a full-day affair. We will divide everyone into smaller groups, and start the day with several hours of skills drills- both individual and group drills. After that, we will have a lunch break (you may want to pack a lunch), after which we will run a full-length scrimmage. Depending on the number of participants in each try out, we may choose to only select a sub-section of players (around 30) to participate in the full scrimmage, so that we can better observe the main candidates in a most competitive game situation possible. Everyone is welcome to stay and watch the game.
