DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
- We offer a development program for all players that either DO NOT make or DO NOT choose to try-out for the travel team.
- Our development program consists of all of the practices and training with a team in their age group and all of the team bonding activities. They do not go to the tournaments or get a team uniform.
- Our goal is to work with the Development team to help them achieve their lacrosse goals and build high level skills for them to either make the travel team the following year or to get better for their high school teams.
- The cost difference is the team cost, minus the cost of the tournaments and uniform. If a player on the tournament team is not able to make the commitment or injury then a player on the development team is given the opportunity to be promoted to the travel team. If they are chosen
