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 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.
