First Week of Box a Blast!

The first week of box lacrosse went well.  Kids had fun and we had some exciting games!  In the
Middle School game, the Blue Jays pulled out a 2OT win in a final braveheart to eke out the first win of the season 14-13.  The kids played hard, had fun and they're starting to really "get" the concepts of box lacrosse.  These two teams should have some exciting games as the season progresses!

In the High School+ Division, the players had fun and really started to pick up the nuances of the box game as they progressed.  They're still sort of playing at a field lacrosse pace but as they figure things out, they'll start to move the ball more fluidly and pick up the two man game and off ball movement as well as a bit more controlled pace of play.  The Honey Badgers and Wolverines picked up wins while the Polar Bears split their doubleheader and the Rhinos and Anacondas each
dropped a game.

Stats and Standings have been updated.

Please remember that this is a no check league and we want to emphasize player safety.  Absolutely no boarding or take out checks!  Major penalties and possibly ejections will result if these two important rules aren't followed.  No games this coming Sunday.  Play will resume on Sunday October 6 with the Wolverines playing the doubleheader.  Get out and hit the wall!
