What to Expect: Season Overview

A typical Avon Youth lacrosse season is structured to balance skill development, competitive play, and player enjoyment.  Here's an overview:

1. Registration: 

  • Players sign up and ensure they have all necessary gear. 
  • Registration will begin September 15th for returning players and September 22nd for those new to Avon Youth Lacrosse.

2. Pre-Season (late January - mid March): 

  • Pre-Season Practices: Initial practices focus on basic skills, team drills, and fitness.  They are 1-2 times a week and typically utilize indoor space at T3 or Lost Nation.
  • Team Formation: Players are evaluated and assigned to teams based on many factors including lacrosse experience, attendance, position needs, physical attributes and attitude/effort. 

3. Regular Season (mid March- Memorial Day):

  • Weekly Practices: Teams typically practice 2 times per week, focusing on skill development, game strategies, and team cohesion.
  • Games: Typically, there are one or two games per week beginning in April.  We do not schedule games during Avon Local School's spring break. The schedule includes matches against other local teams in the North Ohio Lacrosse League (NOLL).  Most home games are hosted at Veterans Park.
  • Tournaments: Teams participate in both mid-season and end-of-season tournaments for additional competitive play.

4. Post-Season:

  • Off-Season Training: Coaches may recommend individual training, camps or club lacrosse programs to continue skill development in the community off season.

What to Expect: Equipment Needs

For youth lacrosse, proper equipment is crucial for player safety and performance.  For those new to the sport, we encourage you to ask friends and neighbors that may have older children who have grown out of their equipment and may be able to pass it along.  We also will provide recommendations on new equipment packages (coming soon).  Here's  a list of the essential gear:

1. Boys: Lacrosse stick, helmet, gloves, shoulder pads, elbow pads, mouthguard, athletic cup, cleats (soccer or lacrosse-specific), goalie equipment is provided by the program.

2. Girls: Lacrosse stick, goggles, mouthguard, cleats (soccer or lacrosse-specific), goalie equipment is provided by the program.

We Need Your Help!

Avon Youth Lacrosse is completely run by volunteers.  Your involvement significantly enhances our program and makes a lasting impact on the players.  We are always looking for coaches to help lead our teams.  Whether you have experience in lacrosse or are eager to learn, coaching provides a unique opportunity to connect with players, help them develop their skills, and foster a love for the game.  Team managers are also essential.  They assist with organizing team logistics, coordinating schedules, and communicating with parents.  These roles are essential for ensuring a smooth and enjoyable season for everyone involved.

Being involved in your child's lacrosse experience offers numerous rewards.  Please consider this opportunity to bond with your child and connect with other parents that contribute to a supportive and vibrant lacrosse community in Avon.

If you are interested in volunteering or have any questions, please reach out to us at katiedamicodpt@yahoo.com.  Your support will be invaluable and deeply appreciated.  We look forward to a fantastic season with your help!
