Name of the FYHA All-Star and Select Teams Fishers Falcons Age Divisions SQUIRT, PEEWEE, & BANTAM Coaches Prior to tryouts a minimum of one head coach per team will be selected by the Coach-in-Chief with the approval of the FYHA Executive Board.

The head coach will receive a stipend of up to the equivalent of a players annual assessment. Tryout Structure FYHA will determine dates, times and cost of all tryouts. Falcons tryouts will be conducted after May 1 for the following season. All information pertaining to the Falcons tryouts will be posted on the FYHA web site and distributed via A three person evaluating committee will be used at each level. Evaluators will attend all 3 tryouts and will not be familiar with the players, but will have experience with coaching and evaluating players. As a group, the evaluators will rank the players. The top 10 players will automatically be placed on the Falcons All Star team. The list of the next 10 players will then be presented to the head coach for them to approve. Any player selection outside the designated total number of players determined for the team will have to be approved by the Coach in Chief. For example, if the team is to consist of 15 skaters and a coach prefers player #17 on the list over someone in the top 15 selected by the evaluators, they would have to justify this pick to the Coach in Chief.
