Events and Tournaments

Each year, there are optional tournaments that are available for a motivated coach and team to attend.  The best philosophy is to attend an early season tournament to prepare for the season, and a late season competitive tournament to showcase how you've grown.

Some tournaments may require additional entry fees that are not covered by the NYSL travel registration.  Please work with your coach and NYSL staff to determine the best course of action.

Motivated parents may recommend their own events as well.  Let us know and we will list it here!
