General Information
The WRC is a participant of the Interstate Lacrosse Community (ILC) which embodies one set of rules (US Lacrosse Rules) and a push to enhance the overall lacrosse experience. This combined with the Woodstock Recreation Center's Youth Lacrosse Program and Outstanding Coaching should positively impact our young athletes so that they get the most rewarding experience out of participating as possible. This means that we don't focus on going undefeated, but rather that we are enriching kids’ lives through positive motivation.

EQUINOX SHOOTOUT
This tournament is NOT INCLUDED in our regular schedule of Lacrosse events offered through the Rec. for the Spring Season. However Woodstock U11 and U13 Boys most likely will enter a team and the expense of $450 per team entry fee will be covered by the participating players families if they so choose to be involved.
*The Equinox Shootout is to further improve on the level of experience we are able to provide for all players
If numbers permit:
*3 groups within the U13 boys team, groups 1, 2 and 3, rotating 2 groups to each game.
*In addition there will be games within the schedule that the U13 team will be divided in to 2 separate teams a White and Green team. This will happen when and if Back to Back games are scheduled.
In both of these cases you will be well informed of your child's participation with a particular group, team and/or game before the first game of the season.
*Your child will receive a Game Jersey that will need to be returned to the Rec at the end of the season. If the jersey isn't returned or is returned in such a state that it's not usable for future teams you will be charged a replacement fee of $50.
* Team placement other than a child's age and grade division, will be decided by the coaching staff. We will have players working together in all age groups
*All boys are required to make lacrosse their priority
Highly recommended as part of your lacrosse experience to join and have a US Lacrosse membership. www.uslacrosse.org
