Hello Lady Devils Families!
Tryouts for the Lady Devils are quickly approaching, and we’re excited for an amazing 2025-2026 season! Please review the important updates below to ensure you’re prepared.
Tryout Information
All players must attend the evaluation session that corresponds with their age group. Coaches may request certain players to attend an additional tryout session, but everyone must participate in their designated age-group tryout—no exceptions. Coaches will be evaluating tryouts to ensure fair team placements.
Coaching Staff for the 2025-2026 Season
• 19U 1 – Mike Frost
• 19U 2 – John Mandeville
• 16U – Kelsey Holmes
Important Note: We will not be fielding a 14U team this upcoming season. Any players registered for 14U should attend the 16U tryout instead. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to me at 508-507-1952.
19U Lady Devils Structure
Our 19U 2 team will mirror the schedule of the 19U 1 team, practicing the same days/times and attending the same tournaments. This structure will create a seamless pathway for player development. Mike Frost will lead the 19U 1 team, while John Mandeville will take on the head coach role for 19U 2.
16U Lady Devils Leadership
Our 16U team will be led by Kelsey Holmes, with Mary McCafferty as assistant coach. While we will certainly miss Ryan Patsch and Haley Doneghey, we are confident in the experience and leadership Kelsey and Mary will bring to the team.
