We greatly encourage parents and students make an effort to get to know one another as we often rely on car pools. You’ll find the lacrosse community soon becomes a close-knit group and your son will get to know many   other lacrosse players throughout the valley and into high school. Game schedules will be distributed to players once they are finalized by the league.
