A VOLUNTEER COMMUNITY WITH A LOVE FOR LACROSSE
At our league, community is at the heart of everything we do. Behind the scenes, there are countless volunteers who dedicate their time and energy to make sure that our athletes have the best experience possible. From coaching to organizing events, these volunteers (who are often parents themselves) go above and beyond to create a positive and inclusive environment for everyone involved. We are so grateful for their hard work and dedication, and we couldn't do it without them. So next time you see a volunteer on the sidelines or helping out at an event, be sure to give them a big thank you!
A BRIEF HISTORY
In 2022, Mad River Lacrosse and Waterbury Lacrosse Leauges merged to form Highlander Youth Lacrosse League. In combining, we are able to pool our resources and have a stronger program. When we have strong numbers for a given team, we will often split into two teams with BLUE practicing closer to Waterbury at Crossett Brook Middle School and GREEN practicing closer to the Valley at Mad River Park. This allows players to get more play time during both practices and games.

Volunteer needs
Coach / Assistant Coach - Whether you are experiences or not, we'll equip you with the skills needed to coach a team. Assistant coaches are especially needed to support head coaches when they are out and for additional practice support.
Time Commitment: For Chillax, time commitment is 1ish hour on Sundays. For teams, we normally have 2 practices per week plus jamborees on weekends.
Field Support - We need a few volunteers during our spring season to help line the fields (more medatitive than you would think!) and ensure that the fields are in great shape ahead of hosting games.
Time Commitment: It normally takes about 30-45 minutes to line a field. We host games on weekends, so lining the fields ahead of the weekends and after a rain is especially helpful. Fields will already be marked - so it's simly "relining".
Equipment - We could use support in keeping inventory of our equipment and gear, and working with the teams on keeping items accounted for during and at the end of the season.
Time Commitment - More time is needed at the start and end of the season as we provide and gather equipment to the teams.
Booster Club / Fundraising - We would LOVE to have a committed group of volunteer to lead our fundraising and booster club efforts.
Time Commitment: Ad-hoc. We'll take as much or as little as you can give!
