WGL Select Program
WGL participates in the Founders "Select League" which offers a more competitive level of play for the 5/6 and 7/8 grade divisions.
The Select Program is an excellent opportunity for your daughters to take their game to the next level.
We are looking for skilled girls who are committed to a more intense spring lacrosse experience.
This is a 'play to win' league and playing time is not balanced.
In order to play on a Select team:
-
Lacrosse must be the player's first athletic priority in the spring.
-
Players are required to play on the town travel (Sunday) team to be eligible to play on the Select team.
-
Players must make all Friday evening games, with the exception for a family emergency or health issue.
-
Players must participate in a try-out process to be rostered on a team.
We will have independent experienced evaluators, who are not parents of current players trying out.

Communication Expectations
In order to encourage players to develop as young women, players should communicate directly with their coaches, and at the SELECT Team level this is necessary. This includes concerns or questions regarding positions, team placement and suggestions for improvement/feedback. An exception is for health issues. All health issues will be kept strictly confidential. If parents have issues with a coach, they should discuss those with the Girls Program Director, after observing the 24 hour waiting period. Please remember that our coaches are volunteers and being respectful of their time and dedication to creating a fun, learning experience for all is expected.
