Growing the Game: Lacrosse in La Crosse

Growing The Game: Lacrosse in La Crosse



 

Recently I came in contact with a passionate lacrosse fan from Wisconsin who has been working to create a very special day of lacrosse for a local community.
 
Mike Welvaert is the President of the La Crosse Lightning Lacrosse Club. Surprisingly enough, they are a relatively new High School Club that has been around since 2010. Their team is comprised of kids from nine different high schools around the La Crosse, Wisconsin area. They compete each year in the Madison Area Lacrosse Association, or MALA and play all their away games roughly two and a half hours away in the Madison area and their home games about 10 miles north in Holmen, Wisconsin.

Mike shared a very special story with us about a Grow The Game tale straight out of America’s Dairyland.
 
Last year, a family contacted Mike and the La Crosse Lightning after moving to Prairie du Chien, a small city along the Iowa/Wisconsin border about an hour and a half south of La Crosse. The family had just moved from Ohio, where their son had played lacrosse for several years. He was looking for a place to play, and the family was willing to make the trek up to Holmen every day for practice.
 
Fast forward a year, they have been working diligently to try and start their own team down in Prairie du Chien. They now have three players from PDC making the trip up to Holmen and they have about 10 others who are seriously considering joining next year, especially if they can form their own team.

PCA - Double Goal Coach Commitment
by posted 02/22/2012
 

Dear Parent:
 
Are you hoping your child will have a positive experience with lacrosse this year? Are you hoping your child will learn enduring life lessons from lacrosse? Are you hoping your child will perform to his/her potential?
 
The Wisconsin Lacrosse Federation (WLF) is doing more than hoping. We have made a commitment that has earned us Positive Coaching Alliance’s Seal of Commitment for 2012.
 
Positive Coaching Alliance awards this mark of distinction only to organizations whose policies demonstrate a commitment to a culture of Positive Coaching. Therefore, the WLF has once again committed our organization to require that all of our coaches be certified as PCA Double-Goal Coaches, who strive both to win AND to teach athletes enduring life lessons.
 
All of our coaches will complete a comprehensive course in Positive Coaching principles to earn or renew their certification. This policy recognizes that certified Double-Goal Coaches are paramount to transforming the culture of youth sports and help ensure a quality experience for all youth athletes.
 
We are proud to have earned this important recognition of our commitment to excellence. By earning the Positive Coaching Alliance Seal of Commitment for 2012, we feel more confident than ever that our athletes—your children—will have a positive, fun, and rewarding experience.
 
Looking forward to seeing you at the game!
 
Sincerely,
 
Dave Wollin
President
Wisconsin Lacrosse Federation

Role of Parents
by posted 02/22/2012
 

Please continue to follow these positive points and help us all to enjoy a season of fun, fast and exciting lacrosse.


Visit www.uslacrosse.org for more information.
 



The Role of Parents 
You, the parent, are equally as important to your child's positive lacrosse experience as the coach of the team. In order for your child to get the most out of playing lacrosse, it is important that you do the following:

One: Be supportive of your child by giving encouragement and showing an interest in his or her team. Positive reinforcement encourages learning and fun. Research has shown that a ratio of five positive statements (compliments, positive recognition) for each negative statement (criticisms, corrections) is ideal for helping young athletes do their best. Try to maintain a 5:1 ratio in your comments to your child.

Two: Attend games whenever possible. If you cannot attend, ask about your child’s experience, not whether the team won or lost. Some questions that you might ask before asking about the final score include: "Did you try as hard as you could? Did you have fun? Did you learn anything today that might make you a better player in the future?"

Three: Be a positive role model by displaying good sportsmanship at all times to coaches, officials,opponents and your child’s teammates. "Honoring the Game" is an important part of what US Lacrosse represents. Help us by honoring the game in your behavior as a spectator.

Four: Let your child set his own goals and play the game for himself, herself. Be your child’s "home court advantage" by giving him or her your unconditional support regardless of how well he or she performs.

Five: Let the coach coach. Refrain from giving your child advice when he or she is playing. Use positive reinforcement with your child’s coach. Let the coach know when he or she is doing a good job.

Six: Respect the decisions of the referee or umpire. This is an important part of honoring the game. Your child will pay more attention to how you act than to what you say.

Seven: Read the rulebook. A full understanding of the rules will help you enjoy the game and educate others.

Eight: Get to know who is in charge. Meet with the leadership of the program, whether it’s school sponsored or recreational, to discuss topics such as cost, practice and game scheduling, insurance coverage, emergency procedures, etc.

Nine: Get involved! A great way to support your child's lacrosse experience is by becoming a volunteer for the program. Some of the ways you can get involved: keep the scorebook, run the clock, line the fields, manage equipment, chaperon trips, raise funds, organize clinics and team social events, update the team web site, photograph players and organize carpooling.

Ten: Sit back and enjoy the game. Remember, lacrosse is played for FUN.
