What club lacrosse program is right for our son?

We know that parents are looking for a program that best fits their athlete based on several factors and we want to provide information, dispel some myths and highlight our program so you can make the best decision possible for your son and family.  We understand that some (not all) programs' marketing creates a pressure for athletes to:

• • •  Join private club teams at the youngest ages prior to physical and emotional development to "secure a spot for the future",

• • •  Access paid="better", non-parent coaches, and

• • •  Compete at the highest level year round (prioritizing lacrosse over other sports); it is important to understand the
    pros and cons of these teams.

Legends wants to offer a competitive, high value program that offers player development opportunities to grow as a player, teammate and person.  This will prepare our players to for the next competitive level, whatever that may be - high school, national teams, college.

We believe that simply joining private teams doesn't earn future spots, rather the right competitive environment with excellent coaching focused on building fundamentally sound lacrosse athletes will earn future spots.

Our coaches (paid and small stipend) have extensive playing backgrounds and more importantly, receive the training and ongoing support to be great youth coaches.  They are USA Lacrosse Members and Certified Coaches.  All coaches are background checked and Coaches are certified and trained on age-appropriate skill and athletic development.

And lastly, specializing on any one sport at younger ages is systematically rejected by all major sports' governing bodies,  securing spots on club teams doesn't last when the club needs to improve its ranking and standing, and having kids sit on the bench just to be on elite teams, isn't for everyone.  We want our players to be better athletes first, the better lacrosse player will be a natural by product.
