Welcome to Tri-County Saints (TCS) 8U Mite Travel League online registration for the 2019-20 season. Teams will be placed in the South Shore Conference (SSC).
PLEASE NOTE: When registering for the first time, you will need to create your adult record first and then you immediately enter your child's information with their birthdate on the next screen.
TCS strongly believes in the USA Hockey American Development Model (ADM) and the long-term benefits it provides to players. The objective of this stage is to refine fundamental movement skills and begin to acquire basic sports skills. This is the time when a foundation is laid for future acquisition of more advanced skills.
The focus is on the development of physical literacy. Fundamental movement skills should be mastered and motor development emphasized, while the participation in many sports/activities is encouraged. For optimal skill acquisition, the basic hockey skills of skating and puck control are introduced. FUN competitions are also introduced in a team environment.
Tri-County Saints’ USA Hockey certified coaches follow the ADM as closely as possible in practices by doing small area stations and keeping players moving. As recommended by the ADM, TCS plays cross-ice games for players at this level. By playing cross-ice games players of all levels benefit by getting far more puck touches, greater lateral movement, and agility due to the confined space. As part of your tuition TCS also offers additional development opportunities such as weekly skills conducted by our Laura Stamm power skating certified instructor.
For more information on the USA Hockey ADM please go to www.usahockey.com.
TCS makes every effort to place every player who tries out by skill, ability, and experience. Depending on the player's ability and the number of teams TCS is able to field. Some players may be asked to participate in the TCS development program. A $50.00 non-refundable tryout fee must be paid in advance online or at the first tryout by check or money order. DO NOT mail in a check or money order bring it to the first tryout. The tryout fee will be applied to your tuition if you elect to skate with Tri-County Saints. Team placements will be communicated a few weeks after the end of all tryouts. Upon accepting your team placement you are required to pay the full commitment fee of $300.00 as part of your acceptance agreement.
All players are automatically waitlisted upon registration. A roster spot is only guaranteed with the commitment fee being paid in full at the time of acceptance. Once commitment fee is paid you will be taken off the waitlist and placed on a team.
The tryout schedule is below. GOALIES are encouraged to attend all sessions.
All 8U Mite tryouts are held at Aleixo Arena in Taunton.
