Lakeland Jr Lacrosse is a non-profit 501(c) 3 corporation founded in 2007. In partnership with Ringwood Recreation we are a member of the North Jersey Junior Lacrosse League and Jersey Girls Lacrosse Association and is an affiliate of USA Lacrosse, a 501 (c) 3 corporation and the national body governing lacrosse.
The mission of Lakeland Jr. Lacrosse is to teach and promote the sport of lacrosse at the youth level for children who reside in Ringwood, Wanaque, and Haskell, New Jersey.
In fulfillment of our mission, the Lakeland Jr. Lacrosse Program strives to achieve the following goals:
Provide children their first opportunity to play organized games against teams from other towns
Emphasize basic lacrosse skills while introducing strategy, structured plays and how to play various positions.
Play time during practices and games should be equal. All players should be given the opportunity to try any position during the course of the season
At this level we encourage kids to attend as many practices as possible to improve their skills.
Game becomes more competitive. Full field play is introduced and checking is introduced.
Reinforce basic lacrosse skills as well as strategy, plays and positions.
All players should get the opportunity to try different positions throughout the course of the year.
It is expected that all players will get equal playing time but this does not mean all players will receive equal playing time during every game.
Fine-tune their skills and obtain maximum knowledge of the game in order to prepare for competitive high school programs.
Coaches are encouraged to involve all players throughout the season however playing time at this level is a function of attendance at practice, ability, and effort.
Players on these teams should be prioritizing lacrosse practices and games.
