Time to kick off the new year

Team Utah Division I tryouts will be held at Westminster College September 6th and 13th. Division I refers to players who will be eligible for U-17 and U-19 tournaments during the course of the 2008-09 school year. While tournament eligibility rules sometimes vary from event to event, we define U-17 as players of birth year 1992 or later and U-19 as players who are of birth year 1990 and 1991. Details on tryouts are as follows:
Site: Dumke Field, Westminster College 1840 S. 1300 East SLC, UT 84105
Time: (Check-in begins at 4:30PM.)
Important Notes:
1. NO lacrosse balls allowed in the facility until the preceding soccer event has concluded and the soccer fans/players have cleared the facility. technically we don't have the field until 5:00 PM so please don't interfere with the group ahead of us in any way.
2. Players are expected to get warmed up on their own prior to the scrimmage. (Goalies included)
3. Players from previous Team Utah squads will be expected to wear their TU penny, all new players will be assigned a penny at check in. We are expecting a large turnout, if you have a blue and white penny with a number on it, you should bring it along in the event we run out of "loaners."
4. Proof of current USL membership is required. A computer printout from the USL website, a magazine label with your name, ID and expiration date or a membership card will confirm this for us.
5. All players must complete a Westminster College Liability Release form prior to participating. If you are younger than 18 it must be signed by a parent or guardian too. This form is download able from the Team Utah website.
6.We do not allow Sports Drinks on the field because of the sugars that are in them and potential for spills to create an unhealthy situation with bacteria on the grass surface. Please don't bring sodas or sports drink out of the stands.
