HISTORY

For 40+ years, Fallston Rec has hosted one of the premier lacrosse programs in the state of Maryland. Serving residents of Harford County and northern Baltimore County, the Fallston Rec Boys Lacrosse Program has a long tradition of developing elite lacrosse talent. That tradition continues today as Fallston remains one of the most consistently competitive programs in the Maryland Youth Lacrosse Association and Harford County boys lacrosse leagues.

PURPOSE

The purpose of The Fallston Boys’ Lacrosse Program is to encourage interest and participation in youth recreational league lacrosse.

MISSION

The mission of The Fallston Boys’ Lacrosse program is to inspire youth regardless of race, creed or national origin in the ideals of sportsmanship, scholarship, and physical fitness. We will promote the development of character, patriotism, health, safety, and good citizenship. We will teach lacrosse in a manner which balances team discipline with a child’s fullest enjoyment of the game.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The Fallston Boys Lacrosse Program fields Cougar teams at every age group and a variety of skill levels. From the future stars in our Little Laxers program (boys ages 3-4) to our Juniors age group for boys ages 13-15 (8th grade), our program offers the opportunity for boys of all ages within our community the chance to learn the game of lacrosse and develop his skills at every level.

A detailed program overview for the 2023-2024 season will be updated this summer.

Our spring season, which is our main offering, will run from late February/early March through early June.

Our Little Laxers and Clinic programs are run “in-house”, while we offer various levels of travel options at each age group, including graduation-year teams (2030 only for the 2024 season).

OFFSEASON OPPORTUNITIES

Our program encourages multi-sport participation. We will also offer the following opportunities for boys interested in continuing to play lacrosse outside of the spring season; however, these programs are not requirements for participation in our spring season and are scheduled so as not to conflict with in-season sports.

Fall

We are excited to host "Sunday Speed Lacrosse" for Fall 2023!

Each week will include a short skill development session with topics to include shooting, defensive positioning, dodging, and more led by the Fallston High School coaching staff and players.

Following each instructional session, participants will have a chance to play in a pick-up, free-play environment with various small-sided games. Groups will be divided evenly based on age and ability for small-sided games.

Helmets and gloves required. No contact. Just bring your stick and have fun playing lacrosse with your friends this fall!

Winter Skills & Drills

Summer League

We are excited to offer SUMMER SIXES at FRC.

Games will begin late June and conclude late July/early August.

The format will model the “World Sixes” format with five field players plus a goalie, allowing players to develop their skills on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball, as there are no offsides and games are played on a shortened field.

This fun, fast-paced style provides a greater number of touches for all players, as well as the opportunity.

Age groups will be based on USA Lacrosse age bracketing and include the following divisions:

Summer Day Camp

Hosted by our Team 152 coaching staff, the summer day camp provides boys from kindergarten through eighth grade the opportunity to spend a week with our coaches, current FHS players, and alumni, learning and building on both the individual and team-focused fundamentals of the game in a fun environment on the FRC fields.

Camp runs from 9 AM through 3 PM Monday through Thursday. Dates will be announced later this spring.

High School Prep Camp (5-8th Grade)

The "Fallston Way"

Our focus is to provide the best youth lacrosse experience for the players and families who play within our program and the coaches who lead our teams.

The "Fallston Way" consists of the following core values by which our program will be guided:

Community

INCLUSION

Inclusive of all skills and abilities and working to reduce ALL barriers to entry – talent, financial, and social.

OPPORTUNITY

Support our community by providing an opportunity for boys to learn the game, grow their game, and develop a lifelong passion for the game.

REDUCE BARRIERS TO ENTRY

Aggressive fundraising to help offset the cost to play, subsidize equipment needs, and provide opportunities to play that are affordable, cost-conscious, and available to all.

LONG-TERM OPPORTUNITIES FOR PARTICIPATION

Creating a pathway for boys to continue to develop and play the game beyond Fallston Rec Council.

Balance

FAMILY & FINANCIAL OUTLAY

Recognition of the associated costs and financial impact on families for participation.
Opportunities to play throughout the year will be designed for all.
Affordable, but value based.

MULTI-SPORT & ACTIVITY PARTICIPATION

Awareness of who we’re coaching – children, not professionals.
Balance all the aspects of how we coach on the lacrosse field, while also encouraging multi-sport participation; however, we understand the importance of providing year-round opportunities for players. We will strive to have opportunities available for those who are interested, when they are interested.

REASONABLE TIME-COMMITMENT

We are not a club; however, we understand the importance of providing year-round opportunities for players to choose from if/when available, but more importantly interested.
Off-Season opportunities to play, including:
Summer League
Fall Session
Winter Indoor
Summer Camps:
High School Prep Camp
Summer Day Camp

Competition

OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL TO COMPETE

Provide competitive opportunities appropriate for skills and abilities at each age group.
Provide the proper amount of stretch, while focusing on providing the best overall experience.

ALIGNMENT

Best align and best prepare boys to play at each stage of their development.
One size does not fit all.
Offer varying levels of teams and competitive options.

AGE-APPROPRIATE PROGRESSION

Competition will look different at every age group. The goal is to support multiple team formations, allowing for competition at varied levels within each age group.
Focus on scalability for each age group based on ability, cognition, and competitive level.

Development

The goal of our program is to aid in the development of players who are well-rounded members of our community through the game of lacrosse. In addition, we will strive to educate our coaches and volunteers to assist in the areas we emphasize for growth and development:

CHARACTER

Teach and play to a standard, not a score.
Access for our coaches to learn best on-field practices, as well as opportunities to grow as coaches and leaders in guiding the players we coach.

LIFELONG PASSION FOR THE GAME

Provide ALL boys a strong foundation of not only skills to play, but an environment to grow and learn the game.
Focus not on winning NOW but developing players for the future.

INTENTIONAL SKILL DEVELOPMENT

Age and skill appropriate; scaling at each stage for continued growth.
Individual player development combined with effective learning environments for skill acquisition.
