Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I don't know anything about lacrosse. What is it?

A: Lacrosse is one of the fastest growing sports on the youth level in America. It combines the speed and quickness of soccer with the scoring and action of hockey. US Lacrosse, which is the governing body for all levels of lacrosse, has a great web site that can explain more in depth the game itself- www.uslacrosse.org

Q: Are there injuries in the sport of lacrosse?

A: Lacrosse is generally a safe sport at the youth level. As with any sport there are inherent risks associated with participation. Our 1st Grade program is strictly non-contact, but we will require the kids to use a mouthpiece and wear eye protection. We want to introduce the game to your son in an open environment where he can find out if it's a sport he would like to pursue.

Q: I hear it costs a lot of money to play. What kind of equipment is required?

A: Our 1st Grade program costs only $25 to participate. You don't need to go out and buy any additional equipment to play. Other than a mouthguard, all equipment is supplied by the club.

Q: Can my son play both Baseball and Lacrosse?

A: Absolutely! We would encourage your son to play any other spring sport in conjunction with our 1st grade lacrosse program. This is a low-pressure environment where we want to simply introduce the game to the kids. Conflicts with other sports are OK with us.

Q: What can I expect my son to learn at the sessions?

A: We will focus on the core fundamentals of lacrosse, which are throwing, catching and ground balls as well as offensive and defensive concepts. All drills will be taught and executed with enthusiasm by the coaches. We will make sure all the kids are having fun while they are there. We are hoping this program will get kids excited about the game of lacrosse at an early age.
