In April, US Lacrosse began offering two (2) Physical Education (PE) Lacrosse Grant opportunities to assist educators and other lacrosse stakeholders in introducing the sport of lacrosse. Grants provide equipment and/or in-service training opportunities to awarded lacrosse teams, leagues, USL chapters and schools. Please visithttp://www.uslacrosse.org/PEgrant for more details and information. 

Important Information for Chapters:

• The 2012 Physical Education Lacrosse Grant application encourages applicants to connect with their local USL Chapter as a critical part of starting and developing a lacrosse curriculum in PE class or a new lacrosse team in their community. The connection will serve as an introduction of a new team to the Chapter and also allow the team to seek support and resources from a US Lacrosse representative in their area. We anticipate an increase in the number of calls/emails to each Chapter from schools and new/developing teams.
• US Lacrosse is currently expanding the trainer pool for the National PE Workshops. If you know a local educator who would be interested in learning more about becoming a trainer, please tell them to contact Meghan Mulford at US Lacrosse ASAP (contact information is below).
• Awarding of the US Lacrosse National PE Lacrosse Workshop Program and the US Lacrosse PE Equipment Grant Program will follow the cycle below.

The Role of Parents
You, the parent, are equally as important to your child's positive lacrosse experience as the coach of the team. In order for your child to get the most out of playing lacrosse, it is important that you do the following:

One: Be supportive of your child by giving encouragement and showing an interest in his or her team. Positive reinforcement encourages learning and fun. Research has shown that a ratio of five positive statements (compliments, positive recognition) for each negative statement (criticisms, corrections) is ideal for helping young athletes do their best. Try to maintain a 5:1 ratio in your comments to your child.

Two: Attend games whenever possible. If you cannot attend, ask about your child’s experience, not whether the team won or lost. Some questions that you might ask before asking about the final score include: "Did you try as hard as you could? Did you have fun? Did you learn anything today that might make you a better player in the future?"

Three: Be a positive role model by displaying good sportsmanship at all times to coaches, officials,opponents and your child’s teammates. "Honoring the Game" is an important part of what US Lacrosse represents. Help us by honoring the game in your behavior as a spectator.

Four: Let your child set his own goals and play the game for himself, herself. Be your child’s "home court advantage" by giving him or her your unconditional support regardless of how well he or she performs.

Five: Let the coach coach. Refrain from giving your child advice when he or she is playing. Use positive reinforcement with your child’s coach. Let the coach know when he or she is doing a good job.

Six: Respect the decisions of the referee or umpire. This is an important part of honoring the game. Your child will pay more attention to how you act than to what you say.

Seven: Read the rulebook. A full understanding of the rules will help you enjoy the game and educate others.

Eight: Get to know who is in charge. Meet with the leadership of the program, whether it’s school sponsored or recreational, to discuss topics such as cost, practice and game scheduling, insurance coverage, emergency procedures, etc.

Nine: Get involved! A great way to support your child's lacrosse experience is by becoming a volunteer for the program. Some of the ways you can get involved: keep the scorebook, run the clock, line the fields, manage equipment, chaperon trips, raise funds, organize clinics and team social events, update the team web site, photograph players and organize carpooling.

Ten: Sit back and enjoy the game. Remember, lacrosse is played for FUN.
