Darien Youth Lacrosse: Blue Wave Buddies 1st/2nd Grade House Lacrosse

“NEW – Starting in 2024, the Boys DYLAX House Program will be taking over BWB.

Blue Wave Buddies for Boys will now be part of the DYLAX House program which currently runs 3rd-6th grade boys youth lacrosse. BWB will continue the traditions that have worked well for the boys and this year we will look to enhance the experience for all players from those just learning to play to those who are more advanced.

We will have a strong line up of parent coaches who will be in charge of drills. The 8th graders will rotate with their team, demonstrating the drill and focusing their attention on developing all players but most importantly making sure each player is having fun!

What remains the same:

• Clinics Saturdays (and some Sundays) from 530-630pm, beginning late March
• Players are coached by the eighth grade boys (with adult supervision)
• Younger players love the attention from the older players and it is a terrific opportunity for our eighth graders to give back and grow as young adults
• Focus is on teaching the fundamentals of the sport while striving to maximize player enthusiasm and a love for the sport  – emphasis is on fun!”

Look for registration starting in November. Proper equipment is required including: lacrosse helmet (Blue Wave Buddies may wear a properly fitted hockey helmet), mouth guard, shoulder pads with upper arm pads attached (All shoulder pads  must meet the NOCSAE ND200 standard and contain an SEI certification mark. No exceptions.), elbow pads, protective cup, lacrosse gloves, boy’s lacrosse stick.
