Why Play for Bear Creek Youth Lacrosse?
1.
Safety: Bear Creek Lacrosse is committed to the safety of your child and our parents and family members. Each coach has a first aide kit and our lacrosse program has three AED's distributed to our coaches at our games/practices. (

2. Coaching: Each of our coaches and assistant coaches strives to ensure that your child has fun playing lacrosse for Bear Creek Youth Lacrosse. Each completes the PCA Double Goal coach training, head coaches are US Lacrosse Level I certified (or higher) and all are US Lacrosse Members.
3.
Fun is Essential: Having fun while being safe is without question the most important component of any sport experience at any age or level. Whether you are a parent of a young child or a veteran coach, it is absolutely critical that your kids enjoy themselves when they play.
The reasons for this are somewhat obvious but important to reinforce. When kids have fun, they are more likely to continue to play. Fostering a love of exercise and athletic involvement has life-long benefits, including improved physical and mental health as well as academic performance. When kids don't have fun, they are less likely to play the next season and may drop out of sports altogether.
Researchers have found that anywhere from 30-70% of kids drop out of sports by the time they are 13 years old, and the number one reason why they quit is that they aren't having any fun. From US Lacrosse (Click Here for Full Article) While some programs/clubs will tell you how many kids are playing on top elite teams, we'll show pictures of kids smiling! We like to say, "We are winning regardless of what the scoreboard reads!"
4. Close-knit Group: It is our desire to create a fun community environment where our parents and our players become friends on and off the field.
5 Non-Profit: Many youth organizations are "for profit", while Bear Creek Junior Sports Association (BCJSA) and Bear Creek Youth Lacrosse are 100% volunteer run, non-profit organizations. This is important as everyone in our program is here for the kids and we are only only interested in your child's best interests, it is not just a job to us.
Did you know?
Lacrosse is the oldest American game; Native Americans have played the game long before our colonies were settled. In effort to promote the purest and best values of the game, US Lacrosse has partnered with the Positive Coaching Alliance to promote positive coaching and good sportsmanship throughout the sport of lacrosse. Bear Creek Youth Lacrosse (BCYL) also supports this movement and hopes that you will continue to enjoy playing for your BCYL team or join one of our youth teams.
