The Lacrosse Nova Scotia Society and the coaching staff of the Provincial Lacrosse Teams do hereby announce that an information meeting will be held, for all age-eligible athletes and their parents, with regard to the starting of the ID Camps for the 2010 Provincial Teams traveling to Nationals.

The age-eligibility birth years are as follows, Pee Wee 1999 and 1998, Bantam 1997 and 1996, Midget 1995 and 1994 and Junior 1993 to 1989.

Please note that these camps are open to all age-eligible lacrosse players and are a great start to the season for any athlete and not just those that have provincial aspirations.

Information Meeting Details:
When? Saturday January 16th, 2010 at 2:00 pm
Where? Sport Nova Scotia Building,
5516 Spring Garden Rd.
2nd Floor Classroom
What? This session will introduce athletes and parents to the coaching staff of the 2010 Provincial Lacrosse Teams and allow interested parents/athletes to ask questions and find out more information on, the specific teams, the ID Camp process, the necessity for fund raising and the sponsorship of jerseys.

Team Nova Scotia (Pee Wee, Bantam, Midget and Junior) will be selected from players across the province. All Pee Wee to Junior aged players, registered with the LNSS, are encouraged to attend the appropriate ID Camp. The first two or three months of these camps are open workout sessions for skill development and general conditioning improvement, whilst the last month will be dedicated to a series of selection/elimination sessions that will include set play drills and inter-squad games.

All interested players must pre-register by completing and submitting, by the indicated deadline date, a copy of the attached registration form.

All athletes and their parents please understand that the primary focus during the selection/elimination sessions will be team play and in the final analysis the best team will be selected, which may not necessarily result in all the perceived best players being chosen.

Thank you, one and all, for supporting our Provincial Lacrosse Teams.
