This website is a wonderful tool for information about our program, our teams, schedules,directions, etc. We have tried to make this as user friendly and informative as possible.
We encourage our players to watch as many Mount Anthony Union High School Varsity games as possible. It’s a great way to improve their game and to support our home team! The MAU high school boys’ and girls’ lacrosse schedule can be found at www.maupatriots.com
Home Page BulletinsFellow Laxers,
Now that game time is upon us, MALA wanted to take a couple of minutes of your time and explain MALA’s expectations for its players and parents:
- Players
All players are to be at the game field, dressed and ready to warm up 1/2 hour prior to game time. Players must be fully equipped (mouth guards, pads, goggles) or they will not be allowed to play. Don’t forget your water bottles!!!!Respect your coaches, teammates, officials and opponents at all times. Encourage your teammates, be positive.Be modest in victory and gracious in defeat. - Parents
Should be on the opposite side of the field from players and must stay on the other side of the spectator line. If there is no spectator line, parents should be at least five feet off the sideline. This is a league rule!!! Respect all coaches, players, officials and spectators at all times. Never criticize, no matter the circumstances. Encourage both teams, be positive.Do not coach your child from the sidelines. Remember, your player is listening for his/her coach and teammates and concentrating on the game, do not distract them, and let them play. A great time for discussion of the game is in the car on the ride home, and then you can talk uninterrupted. - In General
Remember, officials do their best. They are outnumbered 10 to 1 on the field and will not see or make every call. Most of the officials in Bennington donate their time; make sure that they know we appreciate their efforts on behalf of MALA.Winning is not everything. If players have given their all and played a good game against an admirable opponent, that experience is just as valuable as winning. Players can still walk off the field with their heads held high if they have given 100% to the game, supported their teammates and are ready to attend practice the next day and improve their skills.Have fun!!! Youth sports are about learning the game in a supportive environment.
KEEP LAXIN!
