Team Goals and Philosophy • Help players learn skills and develop understanding necessary to become successful lacrosse players • Provide a fun, safe and supportive environment in which players develop a love for the sport of lacrosse • Teach, exemplify and value respect for the game of lacrosse by demonstrating respect for players, coaches, opponents and officials. • We are committed to maintaining a player development philosophy. This means that the growth and development of our players will be the benchmark by which we judge success; • Not by “wins and losses” • Not by “guaranteed equal participation”
Coaches’ Commitment Each player’s experience with this team is important to me. Therefore; • I will dedicate myself to providing a save environment for players by strictly adhering to US Lacrosse standard for youth players and teams. • I will treat players with the respect that I will expect to receive from them. • I will be prepared for practices and games so that the time players and their families invest in this team will be used well. • I will be committed to player’s growth and development regardless of their present level of skill.
Team Rules and Expectations for Players • When a coach is speaking players are to make eye contact with the coach. This regards when the coach is speaking to groups as well as to individuals. • During lacrosse practices and games, players are to concentrate on lacrosse. Other activities and conversations will be re-directed by the coaches. • Each player and coach will conduct him or herself in a positive and supportive manner. Older, more skilled players are expected to help and encourage younger or less skilled players. Swearing will not be tolerated and will result in warning and subsequent expulsion from practice or the game. • Appropriate protective equipment is mandatory for participation.

Schedule and Roster • Schedule: • Our season begins on Saturday, April 4th and continues through to June 13, 2009. • Practices will last about 1 ½ hours on weeknights. We practice and play in the rain unless the field conditions and or weather prove to be unsafe. This decision is made by the coaches. • Schedule changes will be handled by the coaches via telephone calls and/or e-mails. If you have a new telephone number, e-mail address, or other change, please get this information to coach as soon as possible. If you don’t get a phone call or e-mail for a cancellation, there is a practice. • It is most important that all players bring water to practice. As the season moves along, it gets warmer, and the players will need a lot of hydration.
