As we told you in this space earlier this month, college programs will soon be starting their fall ball events.
Now, it’s time for travel teams throughout the nation’s No. 1 hotbed for lacrosse, the Hudson Valley/Long Island/Connecticut region, to get things going for the fall.
That all starts with fall and spring tryouts, many of which are set for this weekend. (A handful have already been held.)
Here’s a rundown of some of the tryouts coming up in the region:
* Team and fall tournament registration for the Long Island Sting is now under way. For more information, click here.
The Sting has openings at various fall tournaments for sophomores, juniors and uncommitted seniors. The fall schedule has been posted on its stinglax.net.
For more info on fall tournaments, contact Ken Miller at everestlaxrecruits@gmail.com.
* The Long Island Express is holdings its tryouts this coming Sunday, Sept. 18 and next Sunday, Sept. 25 at the Field of Dreams in Massapequa. There is a $75 tryout fee.

* Clarkstown South coach Adam Chagares started a summer travel program, Grip-It N’ Rip-It for players from Rockland, Westchester, Northern New Jersey and Section 9 last summer with three teams. This year, there will be four teams: two high school teams, one seventh/eighth grade team and one fifth/sixth grade team.
