YOUTH BOYS

3RD - 4TH GRADE

NELC's goal for our 3rd and 4th grade players is to help each player reach their full lacrosse potential in a fun and exciting environment. The 3rd and 4th grade team will focus on basic skill development, building lacrosse IQ, teamwork and sportsmanship.

COACHING

The NELC has a goal to provide every child the opportunity to play lacrosse. We rely on volunteer coaches to make that happen. If you are willing to help, please click below. We have a training program for new coaches, so no lacrosse experience is necessary.

The fall season games are played during a single two-day fall tournament usually held in Fort Walton Beach in early November. The tournament includes 2-3 games of pool play on Saturday and 1-3 games of single elimination play on Sunday.

The spring season games are played during several one-day jamborees generally held on Saturdays between Panama City and Mobile. The jamborees include 2-3 games for each team. The spring season concludes with one or more tournaments. The tournaments are two-day events and consist of 2-3 games of pool play on Saturday and 1-3 games of single elimination play on Sunday.

UNIFORMS

If you have played with us since spring 2020, you will be able to re-use your existing uniform, and will not need to purchase a uniform during registration. If you are a new player or returning player that played prior to the 2020 spring season, you will purchase your new uniform during registration.

Returning players will have the option to purchase individual uniform items to replace any items if needed.
