We have two tentative locations for practices for the 22-23 Season. Our primary location where most teams will practice will be LIU Post Pratt Center for Recreation. Practices there will be Monday and Wednesday nights. We have secondary locations in Oceanside NY where there are some practices. Players may be offered teams that practice in either or both locations.
Premier Tryouts are first (overnight teams)! If you do not want that level of commitment, please only attend the travel tryout. We will offer spots to premier players first. There will be an additional tryout for Travel level teams (local teams).
Players will tryout and be placed on teams based on ability and position.
We plan on running several teams in each age group.
We typically can honor friend requests on LOWER ABILITY TEAMS ONLY. We cannot move players up to higher teams in order to play with friends.
LI Surge Boys program will continue this season!
