  ShareU11AA/A/B Tryouts - 1st Liaison CommunicationU11 AA2023-08-15 - U11 AA
Greetings,
Welcome to the 2023-2024 Ottawa Sting U11 try-outs! My name is Fiorella Padoin-Castillo, the U11 Liaison for this season. I will be your main point of contact throughout try-outs, and available throughout the season as required. Please do not hesitate to reach out at any time.This email is to give you an overview and expectations for the approaching tryout sessions.
Start Date: Your tryout series will start on September 11, 2023. The AA team is expected to be formed by September 17, 2023. At that point, released players will be invited to continue the tryout process with the Sting U11A team and if released from U11A to the next level with Sting or Golden Knights, depending on where you live. At each step, you will receive clear communication to guide you and your player through the process. Information on the Pathway Sessions on September 5, 6, 9 and 10 to follow.
Tryout Jerseys: For the entirety of the tryout series, your player will be identified by their tryout jersey number. Please ensure that you have a white and black tryout jersey with corresponding numbers, and that I have the correct number for your player. If your player does not have a set of Sting tryout jerseys, please attend the Sting Open House on Wednesday, August 16th at the Canterbury Community Centre between 6:30 and 8:00 pm. Should you not be able to pick up a tryout jersey that evening, please arrange for someone else to pick it up, or advise me by email and I will have a set available for your player at the first tryout session. It is your players responsibility to bring both jerseys to all tryout sessions.
Schedule: The full tryout schedule for U11 can be found here: U11. You will receive more specific communication ahead of the start of tryouts. Note, not all players will be required to attend all sessions listed in the calendar for your cohort. Your player will be assigned specific days and times to attend.
Goalie Evaluation Sessions: There is also a goalie skills assessment that only goalies are required to attend, more details to follow.
Coach Letter: If you have yet to acquaint yourself with the coaches, they are: Coach Ryan Steeves U11AA | Coach Michael Brimner U11A | Coach TBD U11B.
While tryouts can be a stressful time, the process is meant to place every player at the proper level for their development. It is important that your player be well rested and hydrated in order for them to perform at their best. This is the start of their season and will set the tone for the season ahead.
We hope that your player enjoys their tryout experience and has fun while out on the ice! Know that we have an exceptional coaching staff at all levels, who will ensure all kids have a great season!
Please check your email daily for future communications and tryout assignments. Each email will also be posted under this age cohort on the Sting website, U11 News section.
Any questions, please let me know!
Warmly,
Fiorella Padoin-Castillo
U11 Liaison
