A New Youth Lacrosse Club Forms on the Shore
Lacrosse in the United States is currently the fastest growing sport for kids of all ages and the Maryland Eastern Shore has certainly felt the wave of enthusiasm. In fact, the sport has reached participation levels that have exceeded the ability for current organizations to offer kids adequate playing time and expert instruction. With the goal of offering another option for lacrosse players in the area, a group of dedicated and committed parents and businessmen have formed the Coastal Lacrosse Club, a new recreational lacrosse club on the shore.
The Coastal Lacrosse Club is a non-profit corporation dedicated to the growth of youth lacrosse on the lower shore of Maryland and Delaware. The club will offer instructional and developmental programs for boys and girls of all ages. The coaches and volunteers are committed to providing a uniform and organized program, emphasizing the basic and finer skills and strategies of the sport in order to prepare the player to compete at the next level. Players at all skill levels will have the opportunity to develop their game in a positive environment that promotes teamwork, fair play, good sportsmanship and lots of fun.
The Coastal Lacrosse Club is a member of the Delmarva Youth Lacrosse Association, a regional chapter of US Lacrosse. The DYLA is an impressive, extremely organized association with high standards for players, coaches, and the great sport of lacrosse.
The Coastal Lacrosse Club offers league opportunities for boys and girls ages 5-14. Each team will be coached by a dedicated, caring, and responsible coach who has been certified as a US Lacrosse-Level 1 coach. To ensure the safety and well being of youth in the program, all coaches and volunteers will be background screened and certified in CPR.
Our season will begin in March of 2010. All games will be played on Sundays. Practices will begin in early March, and will end with an exciting round robin league tournament held at the end of May. In order to maintain a low player to coach ratio, the club will limit the number of players per team. This will allow coaches to provide more individualized instruction and guarantee playing time to each player on the team. Teams will be formed solely on a first come-first serve basis and are open to players from all areas of Maryland, Delaware, and Virginia. Divisions will be created based on the total number of registrations received for each age group. Registration for the 2010 season will be accepted starting in December 2009.
