Notes of Interest Association Coaching Philosophy: – Brookfield Lacrosse is a member of the Milwaukee Area Youth Lacrosse Association (MAYLA). Lots of good information on website at – Players are in BLA to learn discipline, working as a team, the sport of lacrosse and have fun – To the best of the coaches ability all players will have equal playing time, regardless of the score – Players with discipline or attitude issues will be asked to sit out and if problems continue parents will be notified – If parents have questions or concerns about the team on the field and/or coaching please talk directly with the coach – BLA believes in candid direct communication. Coaches are in the best position to work through questions or concerns with you – If, after working with the coach resolution is not achieved please contact Kristin Ferge, Boys Youth Director Most communication from the Association will be done through Spirit Wear viewing, on-line ordering and delivery to team coordinator Team Manager – Coordinates team off field activities Culture Keeper (Sideline Manager) – requirement of MAYLA that at every game there is a parent volunteer on the sidelines to help support, maintain, and manage the sportsmanlike behavior of spectators and fans Field Maintenance – before and after practices and games helps get the fields ready by putting out and away the goals, cones, game table.
