ROLES TEAM
WHAT IS IT? Boys’ lacrosse is a team sport. There are up to nine field
players and a goalie. Because lacrosse is a fast-paced game, substitutions are frequent to allow players to rest and share playing time.
FUNDAMENTALS
POSITIVITY Good teammates, coaches and parents support each other with positive comments.
FUN Organized sports are designed to keep kids active, safe, fun, and to teach valuable life lessons and skills.
