6th grade boys will play in the Town Pride League, and will be seeded based on their performance in the prior years league competition. The 6th grade group will be playing teams from both the South and North Shore areas of Massachusetts. Instruction will focus on complex game situation skills such as team offense & defense, fast breaks, riding, and clearing. While we will continue to work on individual player skills, (passing, catching, scooping, cradling), it is expected that players will work on these skills outside of practice
When/Where possible SYL will field 2 teams per grade, one team at the “A” level and one team at the “B” level. Dependent upon player availability, we may also select a small group of players who we will use to fill absences at both levels. To maintain player safety, we will not substitute players that we feel are not ready for competition at a higher level. Prior to the start of the season we will conduct player evaluations in order to create our teams. These evaluations will be conducted by multiple evaluators, who will look for the following;
- Athletic ability - Speed, agility, footwork
- Stick skills – Cradling, dodging, passing, shooting, scooping
- Field presence/understanding of the game – Offensive and defensive technique, off-ball movement
- Coachability/Attitude/Effort – Correcting technique based on feedback, effort, attention
