Thanks to Carver’s partnership with Norwalk Junior Lacrosse, including our friends Nick Phillips (President of Norwalk Lacrosse Association), Spencer Hempleman, Erin Berry, and many more friends, we can introduce our summer campers in grades 3-6 to this great sport.
Here are photos of our campers at Veteran’s Park.
This volunteer group of coaches is very motivated to bring lacrosse to all communities. This partnership with Carver will grow with more programming for our after-school students in the fall. Norwalk Lacrosse Association has taught the kids of Norwalk the sport of lacrosse since 1970. NLA is part of the Connecticut New York Youth Lacrosse Association (CONNY).
NLA's goal is to impact each child and the Norwalk community positively. The NLA program instills self-confidence, teamwork, leadership, and empathy.
The coaches have all played at the college level and are passionate about creating an environment for the players to develop a similar love of the game. All coaches go through the Positive Coaching Alliance training workshop and are USA Lacrosse certified.
Norwalk Junior Lacrosse offers age and level-appropriate experience to every boy and girl. The balance between instruction and the competitive emphasis shifts progressively so that graduates of the program have the skills, knowledge, and emotional discipline to play high school lacrosse if they choose.
While a child who progresses through all levels of the Norwalk Junior Lacrosse program has an advantage, many players who have entered the program as late as eighth grade have gone on to successful lacrosse careers in high school and college. Beginners are welcome at all levels.
