Congratulations on making the team and welcome (or welcome back!) to Fox Valley Lacrosse!
At Fox Valley, we don’t think of it only as a spring lacrosse team for your son, we consider everyone part of the Fox Valley Lacrosse Family. Over the last four years, Fox Valley Lacrosse has experienced significant growth in membership, and our primary focus has been, and will continue to be, securing a top notch coaching staff that will support the development of your son’s lacrosse skills, as well as create a positive teaming environment.
As we ramp for a great spring season and tournament play, there are several opportunities for parents to get involved in several areas of our club – both on and off the field - that will help us maintain a positive experience for the entire family!
