2016 Season Mission Statement Teams Conduct Expectations/Code of Conduct Winter and Schedule Tryouts
Mission Statement: The primary goal of the Neuqua Valley Men's Lacrosse Club is to develop our players intellectually, socially, and athletically. We are committed to developing young men who will sacrifice time and hard work for a cause greater than their selves. We will foster the character development of each individual player and measure our success not on the lacrosse field, but by the maturation and growth of our boys into men built for others.
