 NoVa West Lacrosse proudly announces
our High School Elite team the Flamingos. In 2010 the
Flamingos performed extremely well in their recruiting
tournaments, especially at the Hotbeds tournament where they
started off 7-0 with their sidelines flooded by college
coaches interested in the players.
In 2011 the Flamingos will compete in four exclusive
recruiting tournaments:
Baltimore Kickoff Cutting Edge
Brine Shootout
Hotbeds
Rutgers MVP
All players interested in playing for the Flamingos
must attend one of the general high school tryouts.
Tryouts for the Flamingos are by invitation only! All
high school level players will attend the first three open
high school level try outs and be assessed. After this
assessment NoVa
West will nominate players from the open tryout to
participate in a tryout for the Flamingos.
If you are
interested in being part of the Flamingos register for a
NoVa West open high school tryout:
Eligibility
The Flamingos will be made up of 24 - 28 players (maximum)
from Virginia and surrounding areas.
Players must be High School aged during
the upcoming September school year.
NoVa West requires a minimum GPA of 2.5 from all the
players wishing to tryout for the High School level team.
Why do we require this? Because NoVa West likes to consider
itself unique among summer select teams in that our mission
is to maintain a very high percentage of our players making
it to the next level. Most college coaches will not
even talk to players with GPAs lower than 2.5 so we feel by
putting this restriction on our players that we will be able
to work with them and get them placed into a quality
collegiate program. Remember at some point the ball
will stop bouncing and we all need to be able to fall back
on our education to further our lives.
Drugs & Alcohol - NoVa West has a zero tolerance policy when
it comes to drugs & alcohol, if any of our players are under
the influence or are in possession of during any of our
event the player will be removed from the team immediately
without refund.

U13 - Venom
U15 - Virus
