Player’s outerwear cannot be Club or State attire. Any player showing up wearing Club or State attire will be asked to change, if they cannot change their attire they will not be allowed to participate in the evaluations.
SMS has a policy of age appropriate play, meaning players will evaluate and play on age. Current players who are playing up in age group are encouraged to attend their on-age evaluation as no roster spots are guaranteed from season to season; however for current travel players playing up it is not a requirement. Any player who ranks appropriately and the on-age coaches and pro-staff determine is a candidate for consideration to attend an older evaluation session will be notified by the club.
Players are strongly encouraged to attend both evaluation sessions. Provided weather is not an issue with rescheduling evaluation dates, most offers will be made prior to June 6th and completed rosters will then be posted to the website.
