What to Expect in 2026

December 15th Update

One Month To Go, TWP Laxers!

We now have over 175 registered players! We anticipate that there are almost 75 returning players still needing to register. We encourage doing so before 2026 so that you gain information about uniform ordering. It is being finalized at our Board Meeting tomorrow night and will be sent out thereafter. We will also be including spirit wear. We are also placing all of this on our website under "What to Expect in 2026".

We will be providing indoor Practices & Evaluations @ Total Turf thanks to donations from our sponsors. This is a high cost to our program, but we find this time incredibly valuable. These 1-hour sessions will take place on Thursdays between 5-8 pm beginning January 15th and ending March 5th. These sessions will be communicated in advance via your Teamsnap Pages. We encourage your child to attend as games begin mid-March. Some ages start right away, and the younger children start later.

We continue to seek volunteers; assistant coaches are such a help. If you do not have lacrosse experience, but have coached soccer, basketball, and other sports, we can use a helping hand with running drills and keeping kids organized. All coaches will need US Lacrosse memberships, and we will reimburse you when completed. You will also get coaching swag! COACHING INTEREST SIGN UP

We know many kids play multiple sports, and some may be making decisions if new to the sport or a Scooper. Below are the age groups we are hoping to gain more new players or returners!

Scoopers has boys and girls together in a clinic format. We currently have 13 boys and 3 girls. Last year, we had over 15 boys & 25 girls. Coaches Victoria, Josh, Jeff, and Flex cannot wait to bring back the fun!

1/2 Boys: You play games, real pads, real rules! We have 10 boys so far, a great leader in Coach Wyatt, and we are looking for more young men. An assistant coach, too!

3/4 Boys: 2 teams! Coaches Mitch, Victoria, Brian, and Kyle already have 21 boys and are looking to build off tremendous seasons last year!

5/6 Boys: We had 2 teams last year and are on track to again with 16 boys, with many returning players needing to register. Coaches Jeff, Mike, Dave, and Dante are looking for a deep playoff run!

7/8 Boys: Our largest group! 31 young men are looking to build off their historic season last year. We are looking for a few pieces to finalize 2 great rosters to compete under the guidance of Coaches Flex, Mike, Joe, Steve, Jim, and Cross.

8U Girls: Our Scoopers grew up! While unable to field a team last year, we now have 18 girls ready to be led by Coaches Katie, Dan, Laura, and Allison.

10U Girls: These girls had a great season last year, developing and competing. 16 girls are signed up to learn from Coaches Dan, Mike, and Jason.

12U Girls: As of now, 17 girls are prepared to put TWP Lacrosse back on the map. Dominating last year, Coaches Allison, Chris, Jessica, and Kristina are looking for more athletes ready to learn the fastest game on 2 feet!

14U Girls: Equally strong and competitive, 21 young women are prepared to finish what they started before playing in high school. Coaches Kristin, Dan, Samantha, and Latifah are excited to pick up where they left off!

November 25th Update

TWP Lax Families

Our Early Registration period was a huge success! We already have 140 (as of 11/24/25) players ready to play and are thrilled to report that we are guaranteed at least one team at all age groups for Boys & Girls. This communication is essential and has valuable information our Board needs to convey and receive for planning. There will be multiple links and resources to assist in preparing for this season. We are also placing all of this on our website under "What to Expect in 2026".

With many returning families still planning to register, we are likely going to need 2 teams in many of the divisions. We will be providing indoor Practices & Evaluations @ Total Turf thanks to donations from our sponsors. This is a significant cost to our program, but we find the time ahead of our regular season incredibly valuable. These will take place on Thursdays between 5-8 pm beginning January 15th and ending March 5th. These sessions will be communicated in advance via your Teamsnap Pages. We encourage your child to attend as games begin mid-March.

More teams = more coaches. We recognize that not every mom or dad has played lacrosse. However, we know you are out there! We have the most need in supporting our girls. We love our dad coaches, but connecting with women in leadership roles is our goal in providing our girls' teams with knowledgeable moms, grandmoms, aunts, or volunteers who know the game. We also need assistant coaches. If you do not have lacrosse experience, but have coached soccer, basketball, and other sports, we can use a helping hand with running drills and keeping kids organized. All coaches will need US Lacrosse memberships, and we will reimburse you when completed. You will also get coaching swag! Who can say no to that! COACHING INTEREST SIGN UP

More new players = new practice schedules to accommodate more teams. We want to be as transparent as possible to prevent surprises and encourage as many kids as possible to give lacrosse a try. We know many play multiple sports, and below is an example of what practices looked like last year. While we cannot guarantee this will stay the same, it gives families an idea of what to expect. We are hoping to gain full access to a field at the park (Field 2) for the Girls to utilize 7 days a week for practices and games. Fridays may open up an extra day of flexibility for practice times.

Scoopers is run with boys and girls together in a clinic format. Only a stick, cleats, and a mouthpiece are needed. We have 40 sticks, thanks to a US Lacrosse Grant, to provide for this age group if needed. We run practices on various days throughout the week during March, April, and May, and have it modeled as "Come when you Can." No games.

We are proud to announce that CC Miller Construction Corp will be sponsoring our Boys' Practice Uniforms, and Walsh's Remodeling will be sponsoring our Girls' Practice Uniforms. We are still in need of a sponsor for our Scoopers Uniforms, as we provide them at no cost to our youngest players. Any company donating $750 or more will gain ad placement on our shooting shirts, web banner, and social media posts. We can also use sponsors to help with non-financial needs. Can you build, paint, or provide landscaping improvements? Please consider your business as a sponsor! Families can also privately donate to assist in providing opportunities for our players, such as hiring specialty coaches and gaining more turf time. Donation Flyer
