Westfield Lacrosse Club ("WLC") is an all-volunteer non-profit organization dedicated to providing boys and girls with opportunities to have fun playing youth lacrosse and have positive development experiences.

WLC coaches are largely parent volunteers from the greater Westfield community.  WLC will also contract with local high school coaches to run clinics and coach some of our older teams (to better prepare them for high school).  When needed, WLC will contract with private coaches to assist our volunteers.  Generally, WLC's passionate volunteer coaches have a lacrosse background (most high school or collegiate) and all are enthusiastic about the development of town youth lacrosse.  All lead coaches are (at a minimum) Bronze Certified by USA Lacrosse.  This means that each lead coach received coaching training, concussion safety protocol training, background checks, SAFESport Certification, sexual abuse prevention training and (for our older grades) participate in league-specific rules and regulation courses.   When the players begin sanctioned games, all coaches at our practices and games are required to be USA Lacrosse Bronze Certified or higher.

We are affiliated with USA Lacrosse and strive to 'Honor the Game' by teaching and encouraging girls and boys to learn the game and develop their skills in a positive environment that promotes teamwork and good sportsmanship.

We understand that children actively participate in other sports throughout the year. WLC encourages children to play seasonal sports and suggests that children playing multiple sports in a season give priority to their in-season sport.

WLC continues to seek people with time and talent to contribute, especially coaches.  Please contact a member of the boys or girls programs below if you are interested in helping.
