YOUTH LACROSSE

4-6 Grade Girls Lacrosse

The mission of the Hawken Youth Lacrosse program is to introduce, nourish, and develop lacrosse skills in a positive environment while teaching enduring life lessons: teamwork, sportsmanship, resilience, and effort.

NEOLAX (Boys)

NEOLAX is an organization governed by Dan Usaj, along with parent volunteers for 3-6 grade boys. NEOLAX is coached by a hybrid team of former and current players, head coaches and assistant parent coach volunteers. Our program is open to all boys in the Cleveland area and will be consistently one of the premier youth Spring lacrosse programs in Cleveland.

NEOLAX is an east side, community based program run by High School Varsity coaches and parent volunteers, who are interested in promoting the value of youth sports programs to provide an enjoyable learning environment for the physical, social and personal development of youngsters.

The likelihood that youngsters will realize positive sports values is enhanced when adult sports leaders take the responsibility to serve as facilitators of desirable sports outcomes. This can be achieved when coaches assume a role as teacher and carry out lesson plans that develop skills progressively, emphasize positive sports values, and encourage life-long interest in sports participation.
