USA Lacrosse announced that the USA Lacrosse National Schoolgirls Tournament over Memorial Day weekend will be held at Cedar Lane Park in Belair, MD. Mindy Urick (St. John’s) and Janet McCormick (Holton-Arms) will again be handling the DC Metro tryouts and team selection this year. We are excited to continue in this role and help our area’s lacrosse players showcase their skills on a national level.
New in 2022
· This year will look to roster FOUR teams with the potential of a fifth team. There will be between 18- 22 girls on each team.
·Due to field limitations, the nomination form will close when we reach 225 registrations. After reaching 200 registrations, we will open a waitlist for anyone still wishing to tryout. ***In order to give an equal opportunity to sign up, the form will go live at 10:00 a.m. on April 8.*** Registration will close at midnight on April 29.
· There will be two identical tryouts on May 8, 2022 – after registration closes, we will let athletes know if they will attend the first or second tryout. See the website before for more information.
· More information can be found at DC Metro website hopefully your players can utilize this information.
Nominating Players to Try Out
Varsity and JV players in grades 9-11 are eligible for nomination. It is up to the varsity head coach to determine which member(s) of his/her team to nominate.
***Athletes will be evaluated and rostered based on the position they try out for. This is the same position they will play at the tournament. No exceptions will be made, so please tell your athletes.***
Tryout Information
Registration will open at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, April 8, and close on Friday, April 29, 2022. No registrations will be accepted after that time.
Tryouts: Date/Time
Tryouts will take place on Sunday, May 8, 2022 at Holton-Arms School at 7303 River Road, Bethesda Maryland.
This year we will only hold two identical tryouts, the first from 9:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. and the second 12:30 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. Athletes will be randomly placed in either tryout.
Tryout Results
After the May 8 tryouts, we are required to send our spreadsheets and results to US Lacrosse. After they have looked everything over, they will give us permission to post the results. This could take up to one week. Once we have the results, we will post them on the NEW DC Metro website and email players. We aim to post results by Thursday, May 12 but can not guarantee that date.
Team Placement
Athletes will be rostered to their team based on their scores from the May 8 tryout. In the event of a tie score, the tie will be broken by comparing scrimmage scores.
In 2022 DC Metro will look to roster four with the potential of a fifth team. USA Lacrosse will determine if a fifth team is allowed.
Team Practice
We will hold team practices on May 15 and May 22 time and location TBD
Other Information
All athletes will be evaluated and scored based on their performance at the 2022 tryouts and team placement. No consideration will be given to prior experience or team placement.
