Since 1989, The Greene Turtle Lacrosse Club has provided advanced youth lacrosse players the opportunity to develop as quality student athletes in an environment that is positive and fun. For 2009, the program will sponsor eight teams ranging from U-13 up to the 2012 graduation year. Each team will have practices and tournament events that will help increase every player's ability level, provide strong competition, provide exposure to college coaching staffs for the older players, and offer the opportunity to develop lifetime friendships. We do not want the club team to take priority over our player's school or recreation council teams, nor do we want our the tournament schedule to deny the opportunity for players and families to enjoy summer vacation time. Hopefully, with the events we have scheduled, there will be a healthy balance between playing great lacrosse and still having the chance to re-charge and relax during the summer months. We have tremendous coaching staffs that are selected both on their ability to teach the game and their desire to commit to their players. I sincerely hope that each person associated with the Greene Turtle Lacrosse Club will find it to be a positive and rewarding experience that helps young men develop both as students and as lacrosse players.
