Application Process
Any athlete who is interested in participating on a Selects Elite Touring Team is encouraged to apply. Selects Lacrosse will offer this opportunity to a limited number of top players in the Province of British Columbia and beyond. Players are selected from all regions, based on technical merit, character and club coach recommendation or identification by Selects Lacrosse recruiting scouts. There will not be a tryout process required for any Selects program, once you are invited to participate you are automatically enrolled in our program based on your acceptance.
Criteria
Selection and consideration into the program is not necessarily based on lacrosse talent alone. We are looking for elite student-athletes, who possess the desire to work hard and learn in a competitive team environment, while demonstrating the ability to prioritize their academics goals in the highest regard.
The successful candidate must display the following traits to be considered for entry:
- Motivated, coachable athlete.
- Have a desire to further develop their field lacrosse skills at the collegiate level.
- Have an equal desire to excel academically.
- Must be able to achieve and maintain excellence in the classroom.
- Commit to the Burnaby Mountain Selects Lacrosse Program as their primary sport; missed practices and games will not be permitted.
- Athletes must reside in the lower mainland of British Columbia. Out of town candidates will be considered if arrangements can be made to attend all the program events.
The full professionalism of Selects Lacrosse means that all accepted players are asked to make this program including all events, training, games, travel, meetings, and sport specific conditioning a priority over club training or school sport commitments.
The Selects lacrosse program will take extreme care to ensure that there is no conflict with your local club team's schedule, specifically Qualifiers or Provincials. We have carefully planned our schedule so as to avoid or minimize any conflicts with the upcoming British Columbia field and box schedules. If there happens to be the odd conflict with a Selects practice or training time, please inform the executive staff so that we may try and find a quick solution. We are willing to be flexible on a case by case basis to allow for each athlete to participate in our program.
The selection process will be handled by Burnaby Mountain Selects Lacrosse management.
