Team Notice & Email

Notes of Interest

• Association Coaching Philosophy: – Brookfield Lacrosse is a member of the Milwaukee Area Youth Lacrosse Association (MAYLA). Lots of good

information on website at www.milwaukeeyouthlacrosse.com– Players are in BLA to learn discipline, working as a team, the sport of lacrosse and have fun – To the best of the coaches ability all players will have equal playing time, regardless of the score – Players with discipline or attitude issues will be asked to sit out and if problems continue parents will be notified– If parents have questions or concerns about the team on the field and/or coaching please talk directly with the coach – BLA believes in candid direct communication. Coaches are in the best position to work through questions or concerns

with you– If, after working with the coach resolution is not achieved please contact Kristin Ferge, Boys Youth Director

• Most communication from the Association will be done through email

• Spirit Wear viewing, on-line ordering and delivery to team coordinator

• Team Manager – Coordinates team off field activities
