BOYS 2017 PRESEASON INFORMATION

The NCLA is proud to announce its boys youth lacrosse pre-season schedule.  The schedule is comprised of 8 one-hour sessions for grades 4^th – 8^th.   With the unpredictable weather in early March, our goal is to have at least 5 of the 8 sessions.  If the weather is good, we will continue to practice with a maximum possibility of 8 sessions.

Coaches:   The NCHS Varsity Boys Lacrosse Coaches, Chip Buzzeo, Will Koshansky, Bobby Rushton, Kayser Dixon, and Michael Santos run our pre-season with special guests assisting them.  

Players must wear full equipment, including sweat pants and long sleeve shirts, sweatshirts, or jackets.  Players who are not equipped to practice in cold weather conditions will not be allowed to play.  NO SHORTS ALLOWED.

ALL PLAYERS SHOULD WEAR NEW CANAAN APPAREL, NEW CANAAN PINNIES, AND NEW CANAAN EQUIPMENT.  THIS IS NEW CANAAN YOUTH LACROSSE PRE-SEASON.   PLEASE DO NOT WEAR YOUR CLUB LACROSSE GEAR.  THANK YOU!

Dates / Times:   To best manage the use of one turf field (Dunning Stadium), each grade’s schedule is uniquely organized to fit all pre-season practices in a three-week time frame.    Similar to last year, we will have one grade per field time scheduled in order to maximize our coach to player ratio.   If we do not reach our goal of 5 pre-season practices for a particular grade, we then may be forced to put two grades on the same field (hopefully this doesn’t happen and we can get in all 8 sessions!).

Players are asked to show up 15 minutes early to stretch on the side of the field (a coach will be assigned to lead this warm-up).  This will enable our coaches to maximize field time for drills.
