Patriot Fall Travel Teams to be Announced HERE by 6pm...
By 6pm this evening each team roster will be announced in this news article.
Each age group had a selection committee made up of evaluators who were 100% non parents of that age group. In addition, the Patriots professional staff oversaw the entire process and was led by Travel Lead Rick Hildreth. These were completely independent evaluations.
Some team coaches have not been selected. "I did not want to pre-determine a single parent coach," remarked Patriots GM RJ Zeigler. "Its important to find good, qualified coaches, but its equally important to give each player a completely fair shake at tryouts. Since the new summer program is based around professionally run skills mini camps, I have plenty of time to continue to build our professional staff before training camp. Coaches will be announced as they are selected or hired."

At the Mite Level all players trying out will be part of our Mite travel program in the fall. We will hold another Mite tryout in August to fill the last couple spots if they are not filled before that. We will only create 2 Mite travel teams.
At Squirts we will create two teams. Each team has 1-2 remaining spots left to be filled.
Squirt Red - B11, B14, B17, B22, B57, W22, W48, W49, W50, W51, W52, W7 - Coach Rob House
Squirt White - B13, B18, B2, B20, B21, B24, B26, B44, B58, W1, W2, W21, W24, W3 - Coach Wes Stearns
At PeeWees we will create two teams. 1-2 players rostered on our second team will potentially be moved up to the top team this summer as our coaches get more time to look at them during the mini camps. This gives players the opportunity to continue to work to earn one of those last two spots on the top team.
