Our Philosophy - Our programs focus on "Having Fun" while learning the fundamental skills for playing lacrosse.  Our philosophy is that winning is secondary to sportsmanship, respect, FUN, hard work, and involvement by all team members.  If our players can accomplish these things in a game or practice we are winners!

Game Schedule/Direction (TBD – On Web Page) - Please arrive 30 minutes early for games and 10 minutes early for practices.  This will ensure players are ready to start on time.  Players should dress appropriately for the conditions and should always bring a sport/squirtable water bottle with their name on it. 

PLEASE INFORM YOUR COACH IF YOU WILL MISS A GAME.  This will allow the coaches to transfer players from the other team or make necessary player position adjustments. 

Equipment - The players are responsible for their equipment.  The cost per player is over $200 - so please make sure it is cared for and returned at the end of the season. 

Issues - As mentioned - please talk to your coach about ANY problem or concern you have.  Please do this immediately in order to resolve the issue before it becomes a problem, however, we ask that you wait 24 hours to gather your thoughts on any issue that you may be emotional about.

Please inform your coach of any medical situation or injury your son has.  We want to make sure the experience is FUN as well as safe. 

Our philosophy for youth lacrosse is different from the mentality used in other youth sports.   We constantly battle with elite/premier teams in other youth sports, where the coaches demand year round practice and games in their particular sport.  We, on the other hand, want to see our youth lacrosse players play as many different sports as possible to have a better chance of becoming successfull student athletes later in their scholastic experience.  It is a fact that student athletes have better grades and learn the time management skills that will help them be successful in other areas.  We feel that youth athletes playing multiple sports have better odds at becoming student athletes in one sport or another.

Volunteers - We need your help to make this an enjoyable experience.  PLEASE TALK TO YOUR COACH ABOUT HELPING!
