There are four main groups of people involved in our great game of Lacrosse; the Parents, the Coaches, the Officials and the Athletes. How these groups interact and treat each other before, during and after the game will greatly influence whether all the participants have had a positive experience. Let’s show each other respect to guarantee that this happens.           

Thank you and enjoy the game;
