What Do I get?
What am I Paying for?
In addition to all the other great reasons to consider the Fox Valley Lacrosse Club, one more is the incredible value in terms of the amount of time your son will spend learning and playing lacrosse with us.
When compared with existing programs the money spent per hour of lacrosse is a fraction of what other programs charge.
Here's a Breakdown
Practices
Beginning in March, we will have weekly practices. We have secured the turf field at Benedictine University so we will be able to practice in most weather conditions.
In April, practices will move to the lacrosse fields at All Saints Academy in Naperville. We schedule two, two hour practices a week.
In total there are approximately 25 practices.
If a practice is cancelled, unfortunately, we typically are not able to “make it up”
This translates to approximately 50 hours of direct instruction time during Practices.
Games
We typically play 25-30 games each season. Some teams may have fewer. We want boys to be at games one hour early because we have a short practice/warmup before each game.
With this, each game opportunity provides approximately two hours of instruction and learning. Which is another approximately 50 hours of playing and learning.
Summary
In total, we make available approximately 100 hours of lacrosse instruction during our season from the best youth coaches in the Chicago area.
What am I NOT paying for? -- OVERHEAD
