1) How Does Registration Work?
Registration is on a first-come first-serve basis. The Boys Camp WILL FILL and it is recommended that registration is sent as early as possible. The Girls League is limited to 8 teams with 16 players on each team. The teams will be put together at random to aid in player development. The first 8 goalies to sign-up are FREE!!
2) What is Required with Registration?
3) What is so Impressive about the "Upper Crust Camp"?
The camp's staff features college lacrosse's top athletes. Many are captains of their programs emphasizing their leadership, discipline, and talent. The Camp features a low Player:Coach ratio. There is also a percentage of each day which goes towards position dedicated training. This year's staff features a goalie, 2 defenders, 1 long stick midfielder, 2 midfielders, and an attackman!!
4) What do league entry fees go towards?
The use of beautiful turf fields and needing to reserve them within their city is the greatest single expense. Having 2 referees' costs over $2/minute of gameplay. Every player receives their own Team Pinnie and a custom Under Armour shirt. The League Champions get League Champ Shirts and Trophies!. On top of this, are costs linked to lacrosse; ranging from goals and nets, to balls and field paint.
5) Why do I need to register with U.S. Lacrosse?
Our policy is to continue to spark the growth of the sport - the same goal as U.S. Lacrosse. We also can not get insurance and liability coverage for players who are not U.S. Lacrosse members. Failure to include a valid U.S. Lacrosse Number with Registration will result in your entry fee being returned.
FAQ's: Off-season Lacrosse
1) Why does off-season training help players improve?
Continuing the skills that were worked on the entire Spring allow a player to develop to the next level. Ending the season and leaving their stick in the garage for 8 months will not improve a player - they will most definitely go backwards.
2) Why are structured leagues or camp a strong option?
Having sanctioned referees and umpires helps players continue to play within the rules. Having familiar teammates alongside aids in team chemistry. Playing each and every week gives you time in between to practice your skills on your own, and then come out the next week and demonstrate them in the game. Camps are also useful in that you soak up a lot of information, let it sink in, then show up the next day to put it to work with the assistance of an unbelievable coaching staff.
3) During Leagues what is the job of our On-the-Field Coaches?
On-the-Field Coaches are meant to answer any questions players' may have. More importantly, they are there to give a player a suggestion, a better idea of a game-like situation or scenario, and assist in developing their instinct for lacrosse.
