Lynx Lax is a Summer, Fall and Winter season program dedicated to supporting the growth of NorthWest Connecticut Lacrosse with a convenient location and affordable fees.

Since 2007, the Connecticut Lynx tournament and league teams allow for all players to get college level coaching and to face high level competition. The Lynx coaches will focus on teaching the appropriate level of skills and concepts. During the summer, winter and fall, the teams will compete at three levels 5th / 6th grade, 7th / 8th grade and  High School. It is our belief that the combination of high level competition and participation with other players from the region is a means to improve skills and compete at a higher level but also to build friendships and enjoy this great lacrosse experience.

This is a “NO HIT” league.  Being strong in your position is ok, laying out a hit is not.  Special care is needed when playing along the sidelines so players do not hit the walls.  During the game, the referee has complete authority to make decisions regarding play.  Matt Glaser, the league administrator, can make decisions based on what is best for the safety of the players and the good of the league.  Habitual offenders can/will be removed from the game, suspended or ejected from the league - no refunds.  Again, the underlying criteria will be safely.

While rosters are set, in the name of gamesmanship, roster changes may be necessary to balance the teams.  This will be reviewed on a week by week basis. 

WEATHER – Cancelations will be posted as soon as a decision is made.  You will receive an email, text and the website will be updated.  Knowing many players drive themselves, I will err on the side of safety.
