Spring is right around the corner, and that means it’s time to start thinking Lacrosse!!!

Each year, WAX teams participate in the Maryland Youth Lacrosse Association league.  Additionally, our Pockets and Tykers play in local or in-house leagues. The MYLA bylaws mandate that we enter teams based on the number of players in our program at each level, and specify what level of play we must enter.

In order to fairly divide teams to meet the MYLA  age level alignments, we hold assessments by age group to assist the coaches and coordinators in dividing the program into teams. Please understand that the assessment process is an imperfect art. Our goal is to give the players a chance to show their fundamental lacrosse skills, game awareness, as well as their physical skills such as speed and coordination. It’s not perfect, but the coaches, volunteers and coordinators put a lot of time and effort into making sure everyone gets a fair look.  Once the assessments are complete, the coordinators will meet to decide the level of play for our teams at each age group, taking into account MYLA requirements and our players’ assessments. Then they will divide the players into teams to meet the needs of our league alignments.

Teams should be formed, and first practices should take place by the first week in March. The first games are scheduled for the weekend of March 30. The MYLA doesn’t schedule games Easter weekend. We’ll continue practices and games through the end of May, ending the season with the LAX MAX Tournament here in Westminster June 8-10. Also for your calendar, WAX DAY will be May 5th, our home game extravaganza where all the WAX teams, boys and girls, will play at home in a gigantic festival atmosphere. More information will be forthcoming.
Assessment times are below.

A couple of things to note:

• All players must have a birth certificate on file with WAX. If you have played for us before – we have it! If this is your first year playing with WAX, you MUST bring a copy of your birth certificate to assessments.
• All players who want to play must be registered, and fees paid prior to assessments.
• All Assessments are held indoor, at 4 Seasons Sports Complex, 2710 Hampstead - Mexico Road (Rt. 482) Hampstead, MD.

Do you have a son or daughter that played for WAX and is now playing for High School or College? If so, we would like to feature them on a new WAX Alumni page. We think this will be a great way to get our young players excited about their LAX future when they graduate from our program.
If you would like to feature your child on this page, simply send me their name, a picture (Optional), school they are playing/played for, and years they played for WAX.
