Who are the coaches and who will be coaching my team?

We believe that any club is only as good as it's coaches. Our coaches are a mix of professional players, college players, as well as, current college and high school coaches. Each team will have an offensive and defensive coach. Our coaches are paid to teach the game with a positive tone or they are let go. And yes we know there are great player that can't coach and great coaches that were average player.

If my son makes a team, will playing for The Mavericks interfere with other sports?

It is not our intention to monopolize a young athletes time with year-round lacrosse. We see the benefit and encourage our young men to be multi-sport athletes.

How many players are selected for a team?

Our teams consist of 19-21 players. We keep the numbers small so our coaches can spend as much time as possible with each player.

How are the player evaluations/try-outs conducted?

The coaches and the board of advisors make the selections. All evaluators have extensive experience playing the sport and/or coaching lacrosse. Evaluations are fair and unbiased. We are looking for the best athletes and lacrosse players.

Why don't you do more tournaments?

We have no interest in feeding the "lacrosse beast" more then we have to. Practice more play less.
