Many Full Force player will soon be attending tryouts for Summer 2012 elite lacrosse teams.  I am constantly approached with questions about these tryouts - why they are so expensive, what are my son's chances of making the team or why didn't he make the team, how are players selected, etc.  With these questions and issues in mind I was asked by the fantastic website Lacrosse AllStars (www.laxallstars.com) to write an article that tries to explain how these tryouts operate. I think (hope!) the article will give everyone some insight into the "hows" and "whys" of these elite team tryouts that your sons partake in.  The article went global online yesterday and can be accessed here: http://laxallstars.com/elite-team-tryouts-harsh-reality-with-a-silver-lining/
