We believe that each and every youth in our community should be given the opportunity to play lacrosse with positive coaching, encouragement, teamwork, practice and having fun.  We believe that if a player is having fun, they will practice, trying harder for themselves and their teammates and will build a passion within themselves for the sport we all love.  If they are invested in their development as a player, they will become the best lacrosse player possible!

We believe that this is possible through support for the volunteer coaching staff and the players by the Coyote Board of Directors, South Jeffco Sports Association, Positive Coaching Alliance, families and the community.

Current and Future Coyotes -

Hope everyone’s summer is going well.  As cliched as it may sound, my summer has flown by and we are already starting to gear up for the school year which is less than a month away.

Mark your calendars - Coyotes Red /Advanced Team tryouts are tentatively scheduled for November 5th and 6th.  Tryouts are open to all Coyotes as well as players from other clubs who may want to join the best club in the AYL - so tell your friends and more info come as we get closer to November.

In addition to getting ready for school and saving the date for Coyote Tryouts, now is the time to start looking at Fall/Winter Club teams if it’s something your son is interested in —club lacrosse is not for everyone.  It does take an added level of commitment, however, that commitment level may vary by club.  Some clubs may be putting in a team for the Mile High Harvest only, while others may travel to other states for tournaments.  

Remember, tryouts don’t require you “sign” with the club after the tryout — you could also use this as an opportunity to get sticks in hand and just play.  Some clubs also make the tryout more like a clinic with instruction from local college players.  

If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me.  And if you do play club, tell your teammates about the Coyotes and encourage them to come to our tryouts or play for us in the Spring.

There may be more, but the following are the clubs I am most familiar with.

In regards to Coyotes Fall Lacrosse, there is a box league in Castle Rock and the SSPR league in Highlands Ranch that some teams or players may be participating in.  We love our coaches, but some do have other Fall commitments so if any parents are interested in coaching a team please let me know.

Another reminder - our tryouts for Red-Level teams are tentatively set for November 5th and 6th. Tell your friends!!!

Finally, a couple of other clinics that have popped up since my last email:
