Round 1 of the tryouts on May 2nd was
tremendous with over 64
players impressing the evaluation team. There will be some very
difficult decisions in selecting this squad but in the end we will have
a very competitive team that will surely have a fantastic summer of
lacrosse.
One of NoVa
West's founding principals is that we will not have fathers of players
coaching teams which will eliminate any pre-conceived teams which is a
complaint about many other local club teams. The evaluation team
for the U13 try-outs include the following:
Evaluation Team
Devin Pinkston - D1 Attack Presbyterian College
Brendan Niklason - D1 Goalie Jacksonville University
Rob Horne - Head Coach Notre Dame Academy
Adam Rice - Head Coach Flint Hill School
Mike Gongas - Head Coach Presbyterian College
Brian Jenkins - Head Coach Shenandoah University
Curt Foxx - Head Coach Hood College
Phil Polozotti - Asst Coach Lake Braddock
Players
must attend at least one tryout to be eligible for team selection. All
players will be notified after the tryouts regarding their status with
NoVa West. Players selected will have 24 hours to secure their
spot on the Iguanas roster for the summer.

Selection
Process
Making a summer select team should be an honor and we are
looking for players that will treat it as such. The
Venom Coaching staff will all rank out players in
various categories with a 1-5 ranking. The roster will
consist of 20-24 players (2 Goalies, 6 Defenders/LSM, 9-10
Middies, 4-5 attack and 1 specialist). The top rated players
in each category will make the team. We may also
select some alternates for the summer in case of injuries.
