FAQs

WHAT IS THE MISSION OF THE CONNECTICUT WOLVES LACROSSE CLUB?

Our mission is simple: to train, mentor and develop serious student athletes who are willing to put in the hard work required to grow both as lacrosse players and as people. Our goal is to develop players on and off the field by teaching the nuances of their respective positions, while emphasizing team play and the development of lacrosse IQ.  We also strive to cultivate leaders with a strong blue-collar work ethic, traits that build character and translate well beyond the field.

WHAT MAKES CT WOLVES LACROSSE CLUB UNIQUE COMPARED TO OTHER CLUBS IN THE AREA?

First and foremost, our foundation is our CULTURE .  We strive to develop, train, and create an amazing EXPERIENCE for the players and families.  Our coaching style emphasizes positive reinforcement and in-depth instruction, helping players become better lacrosse athletes while learning to win with class and lose with grace.

As players progress through our program, our leadership's deep relationships within the lacrosse community allow us to recruit and retain top tier coaches, gain access to selective tournaments, and consistently place our players in the best position to succeed at the next level.

While maintaining a high level of competition, we make every effort to accommodate families by offering convenient practice and tournament locations throughout the fall, winter and summer seasons.

WHERE WILL THE CONNECTICUT WOLVES LACROSSE CLUB PRACTICE AND/OR TRAINING SESSIONS BE HELD?

During the summer we will practice/train outdoors at Greens Farms Academy in Westport, CT. The CT Wolves East teams will practice in either Killingworth or Guilford High School.

In the winter we will practice/train indoors at Insports Trumbull, for both Box Lacrosse (CT Knights) and Positional Training.

WHO WILL BE COACHING MY SON?

Each team will have multiple coaches. Our Head Coaches are seasoned professionals with actual coaching experience at one or more of the youth, high school or collegiate ranks. Please check out our bio section.

WHAT TOURNAMENTS WILL WOLVES LACROSSE ATTEND?

Wolves will attend the appropriate tournaments for their respective age groups each fall and summer. We strive to be competitive at each event, and will choose wisely to match up correctly and allow our high school players to get recruited as well at certain tournaments.

WHAT DOES IT COST?

Fees vary by age group. We offer payment plans to help spread the cost over the year. Registration fees are non-refundable. Once a spot is accepted, families are responsible for the full program fee, including any remaining balance on a payment plan if they choose to withdraw.

HOW DO I TRY OUT FOR THE CONNECTICUT WOLVES LACROSSE CLUB?

DO I NEED TO REGISTER FOR TRYOUTS IF MY SON PLAYED ON A TEAM LAST SEASON?

YES! All members have to sign up for tryouts if they are interested in being considered for the next season.

DOES MY SON NEED TO ATTEND BOTH TRYOUTS?

The first tryout is open to new and existing Wolves players. The 2nd and final tryout is considered a ‘Callback” and Invitation ONLY. All existing Wolves players are AUTOMATICALLY invited back to Callbacks.

IF A PLAYER CAN’T ATTEND ANY OF THE TRYOUTS WHAT SHOULD WE DO?

HOW WILL MY SON KNOW IF HE MADE THE CALLBACK TRYOUT AND/OR MADE THE TEAM?

All players registered will receive an email and/or phone call listing callbacks and players selected.

WHAT IF MY SON DOES NOT MAKE THE TEAM?

Player development happens at different times for every athlete. If your son is not selected for a Tournament Team, we encourage him to continue training and to try out again in future seasons. In some limited cases, players may be offered an opportunity to participate as an alternate or practice player. Wolves Lacrosse Club also offers clinics, camps, and small-group or private training, and we would welcome the opportunity to continue working with your son as he develops.

IF I MAKE THE TEAM THIS YEAR DO I HAVE TO TRY OUT AGAIN NEXT YEAR?

Yes. Open tryouts occur every year.
