BLACKWOLF TEAM
Blackwolf is an invitation only team with recommendations coming from H.S. coaches and/or the Blackwolf staff personally evaluating players. There are no "open tryouts" for Blackwolf. Based on coaches recommendations and evaluations, we will select 25-30 players. One of our goals is to have the players on this team gain the same exposure as the top select teams throughout the country. We will also strive to have the talent level that is truly select to assist EVERY player with exposure, not just one or two "marquee" players who may or may not be seen. Players will not be required to play only for Blackwolf, but they will be required to attend ALL practices and scrimmages. If there may be scheduling conflicts, we recommend that a player not seek or accept an invitation. Invites will be open to all players, rising sophomores-rising seniors, although it is possible for freshmen to make the team, they will have to be a true "phenom".
In an effort to offer a truly rewarding and elite program, beginning in 2010, the ONLY charge to play on the varsity will be for the uniform and helmet.
We will also require a minimum GPA of 2.5 that all players must have to make the team. This, we expect, will show the players that more than just playing lacrosse can assist in getting them into the college they would like to attend, and keep them there. We want this to be something that college coaches will recognize immediately that this player is someone who's academic standing we need not to be concerned with if he is playing for Blackwolf. We believe strongly that these young men need goals and direction in order to improve and strive for success. Please be advised that these invites will be extended based purely on GPA and on field performance. We will assist our players and parents at any time and in any way possible with college recruiting and contacting the schools our players are interested in attending. Remember, that being proactive in recruiting can be extremely helpful.
