Try-Outs / Cutting
The decisions for team placement and/or a complete cut from the program will be based on a combination of fitness, skill set, skill selection in game play, understanding of game strategy, tenacity, coachability/attitude, attendance, and effective/safe coach to player ratios. The most important variable is how a player performs within the contextual interference of the game relative to the other players trying out. The entire coaching staff takes these placement decisions very seriously and we make an exhaustive attempt to make these educated decisions within the first week of pre-season. We have been fortunate enough to avoid cutting and therefore find a spot for all interested players on one of our teams in the past few seasons. However, an increase in number of interested players trying out could force us to make cuts in any given year.
