Every parent coach in the spring season is a volunteer.  Please give them a HUGE thank you when you see one!

Every Wolfpack coach is required to participate in the "Positive Coaching Alliance Program (PCA).
SMLC boys and girls coaching staff consists parent and non-parent head coaches who have HS, College or Professional lacrosse backgrounds. We are extremely fortunate to have a very talented group of coaches/volunteers who not only pass their knowledge and passion of the sport along to the kids in our community, but they do so in a manner that promotes the basic principles of competition, respect, and love for the game.

Practice days and times are requested by the team coach.  Since rosters are not formed until February, we do not know practices days/times until rosters are set and the coach has requested the day and time that works best for him or her.  

 

Player Evaluations: Evaluations take place in late January.  No Cuts - all registered players are placed on a team.  Player evaluations help us create balanced teams within age groups. 

Rosters are published in late January/early February.

Earning a spot on the “A” team requires a full time commitment for practices and games over other spring sports.  “B” Teams provide a little more flexibility to accommodate other sports or weekend conflicts (playing time is at coaches discretion if attendance becomes an issue).  If your daughter cannot make a full-time commitment to lacrosse in the spring, then the B team is the appropriate place for her.                                   

Coach Evaluations:  At the end of every season we ask our coaches to submit evaluations of their players based on many different factors including hard work, attendance, attitude and talent. 

Practice Schedule:  SMLAX sets the practice schedule for each team in February, after players are placed on a team.  There are always a few requests to switch to a different team based on specific conflicts.  While we try to limit these requests, we do our best to accommodate them when possible.
