U11 Select Team - Welcome
Hello everyone, Thank you for your interest in the U11 Select Team. My name is Wes Burt and I have the privilege of being named Head Coach of the Team. I am excited about this opportunity to coach this team. This is the second year AMHA has rebooted the select, and we want to build off last year. We will have a lot of fun and face great competition that will enable players to take their game to the next level. I want to pass on some information before we get going;
Cost: There will a fee payable to Ayr Minor Hockey similar to rep team fee. I have heard this could be around $235 a player (not confirmed). This fee will cover the extra ice time we will be given for practices and exhibition games. Additionally there will be team fees, which will be less than your LL team that covers tournaments (~$175-$250).
Time Commitment: Expect to hit the ice approx. 3-4 times/month. Additionally we will run 2-3 tournaments this year. The two I've entered so far are both local enough that no hotel is required. They are the Hespeler Olympics (Dec 27-29) and Ancaster Select (April 3-5). When we have the parent meeting we will get into more details about these tournaments.
Evaluation: As for the team formation itself, AMHA will be hosting two evaluation skates (10/22 & 10/25). For evaluations, we're not just looking at talent, but how you use the talent. Players will be selected based on on-ice performance, attitude, commitment, and team needs. In ideal state, equal number of players from all LL teams will be represented.
Going forward any communication for this team will done through this email address. [email protected]
Thank you and I will see everyone at the rink.
Coach Wes
