Welcome to the Bandits Youth Lacrosse website.  We are an organization that believes youth sports should focus on developing young players to be the best that he or she can be.  We focus on developing a player's skill, sportsmanship, teamwork and love of the game.  We, the coaches, will never berate an athlete or another coach or referee.  We expect the same kind of attitude and behavior from our players.  We play hard but we play clean and with respect for those around us.  We hope your young athlete will consider joining us.  We promise to teach your child what he/she needs to know in order to play this game competitively.  We also promise to provide an environment which is positive and encouraging to help your child play the best that he/she is capable of playing.

For those of you not always paying attention to everything lacrosse all the time.  This week is the Lacrosse World Games.  It is the World Cup of lacrosse, except the US is actually relevant.  It is being played in the Denver Colorado area, and there will be more lacrosse going on then even I can watch!

The US played Canada on Thursday night this past week.  It was a great game, you should be able to find it On Demand on the ESPN family.

There will be over 100 games in the next week, played between 38 different teams across the world.  They will be on ESPN 2, ESPN U and ESPN 360 (web site).

Will be some great lacrosse for you and your player to learn about the game.  The best players in the world will be there.  Try to catch games with the US, Canada or Iroquois nation.  Those are the best teams around.

Hope you are all having a great summer.

Coach Crowley
