Hello U10 families,
The U10A tryouts begin Monday, September 11th and continue through the rest of next week. All players will receive a minimum of three hours of ice and participate in a skills session, a small area games (SAGs) session and an intrasquad game. There will also be separate goalie evaluations. All necessary information for the first three sessions appears below.
Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
Thanks!

U10 Liaison

While tryouts can be a stressful time, the process is meant to place every player at the proper level for their development. We are all excited about the prospect of a new season, and staying positive through these early days can set the tone for the year ahead. A little encouragement goes a long way!
We hope that your player/goalie enjoys their tryout experience and has fun while out on the ice! Know that we have an experienced and committed coaching staff at all levels of U10 who will ensure Sting players have a great season!
