Team Philosophy, Expectations and Policies Respect all, including yourself Be early with 100% attendance. Teach the game of Lacrosse to others. Do not break any laws. Give 100% effort to everything you do. Communicate.

COMMUNICATION POLICY All concerns must start with a player/coach discussion. Even if the player does not feel comfortable discussing conflict or concern, he must take the risk to do so. This is a life- lesson that fits with our expectation of being responsible for our actions. No discussion with parents can start without this.
