The Amherst Regional Middle School Travel team is comprised of approximately 16 players, selected from the larger group that plays in the Intramural League. Travel Team members must also participate in the Intramural League. The Travel Team plays an ambitious schedule of games against other Middle School and High School teams throughout New England, and involves a considerable time commitment.
We will be evaluating all players at the general practices at the start of the season. We will also hold tryout sessions for players who wish to be considered for the travel team. There will be three tryout sessions. Players who wish to be considered must attend at least two sessions and are strongly encouraged to attend all of the sessions.
