Entering our 10th year of success, the Mid-Atlantic Selects will field teams for 2013 through 2005 birth years to compete in two regional tournaments (8U and 16U teams will compete in one). Teams are open to both boys and girls players. The program provides players with high intensity, instructive, and enjoyable practices and skill sessions, all delivered by the region's top coaches and teaching professionals and culminating with appropriately challenging game competition through tournament play.
Full commitment is required for practices and tournament play in advance of team selection. The TI staff will make a preliminary team and playing decisions during the first two weeks of MAS Spring Clinics. Players considering the MAS Tournaments Teams are ENCOURAGED to attend MAS Spring Clinics (additional cost). Considering the number and skill of players during training and approaching the tournaments, a final determination may be made as to which level teams will be entered in the tournaments and which players will be on each team.
When necessary, MAS will consider extending an evaluation during an alternative period or host a scheduled supplemental evaluation to accommodate potential conflicts. Our intention is to provide a reasonable opportunity to players wishing to participate.
Features of the Mid-Atlantic Selects program are as follows:
MAS will field teams from 8U-16U. The final decision about how many teams are fielded for each age group, the possibility of single birth year teams and at which levels those teams will compete will be determined based on the coaches' assessments of overall talent level after tryouts and evaluations. (Teams will be formed and play in tournaments at the 2021-2022 USA Hockey age levels. This better prepares players for their winter club tryouts and for competition in the 2021-2022 season. Additionally, tournament rules require all teams be placed in the 2021-2022 season age groups.)
Project Plan and Anticipated Teams and Levels in 2021-2022:
*Note: At the 12U and 14U levels, MAS typically plans to field two teams playing at either the A or AA/AAA levels each spring season. For the current spring season, MAS does not anticipate fielding teams playing at the B level for the 12U and 14U age groups.
