Welcome to The Norwalk Lacrosse Association Website

Welcome to the Official Site of Norwalk Lacrosse Association, Inc.!

Norwalk Lacrosse Association (NLA) has been the parent affilliate of Norwalk Junior Lacrosse (NJL) since 1990. Our goal is to provide our youth players the opportunity to learn the fundamental skills of lacrosse, participate in a rewarding team experience, and have fun playing the game. We achieve these goals by providing pre-season clinics, in-season practices and games, and post season tournaments.

Norwalk Lacrosse Association also supports the Lacrosse programs of our two city high schools, Norwalk High School and Brien McMahon High School. Through our collaboration with all our boys and girls coaches, we provide a structured curriculum from Kindergarten to 8th grade that prepares our players for higher level competition in high school and beyond.

Norwalk Junior Lacrosse (NJL) is a member of US Lacrosse, the national governing body of the sport. We are also a member of the Connecticut New York Youth Lacrosse Association (CONNY), which includes fifty-five community based youth lacrosse programs fielding nearly 600 separate teams across Connecticut, Westchester Count, NY, and New York City.

Please use this site to get the most up to date information.

If you haven't already seen it, the following link will take you to a terrific documentary video about the origins, history, growth, and future of both men's and women's lacrosse. It is well worth the fifty-five minutes it runs.

http://vimeo.com/64675548

The documentary does, however, omit one fascinating detail. James Naismith, credited with inventing basketball while teaching at Springfield College, was a Canadian and a lacrosse player. So it's not that lacrosse is a lot like basketball ... it's that basketball is a lot like lacrosse.

Enjoy.
