Axemen Lacrosse Club - 2025 A-Team Tryouts

The Axemen Lacrosse Club is excited to announce that for the 2025 season, we will be holding separate tryouts for our U13, U15, and U17 A-level teams. This marks a new approach for our club, as we align with other Calgary organizations in hosting dedicated tryouts for our top-tier teams.

Key Details

• Tryout Registration: Details will be shared in the New Year via email and social media.
• Purpose: To identify players best suited for their age group’s A team(s) based on athleticism, stick skills, lacrosse IQ, and positional play.
• Dates: 7 Feb, 13 Feb & 3 March
• Cost: $75

Important Information

1. Tryout Structure:

• This will not be a camp-style floor time. It is a performance-based evaluation process.
• Cuts will be made at various stages, including after the first day.
• Evaluations and cuts will be conducted by independent evaluators unaffiliated with the Axemen Lacrosse Club.

1. Commitment Requirements:

• Attendance at tryouts is mandatory. No absences or player linkage will be accommodated.
• By registering for tryouts, players and families acknowledge the increased commitment required for the A-level program, including additional floor times and travel.

1. Expectations:

• Families must be realistic about players' abilities, the process is performance-focused, and some players may be released from tryouts early.
• The intent is not to discourage players, but to ensure teams are competitive and aligned with A-level team expectations.

1. Multi-Sport Athletes:

• While we support multi-sport participation, it is challenging to balance concurrent sports, such as hockey and lacrosse, at the A level. Please consider your availability carefully before registering.

Final Roster Selection

• Initial cuts will be made by independent evaluators.
• The evaluation team will work with the head coach to finalize the roster through additional practice sessions.

This initiative is a trial for the 2025 season, and we appreciate your understanding and support as we work to enhance the Axemen Lacrosse Club experience.

Stay tuned for registration details in the New Year!
