Could Downers Grove be the King of the Spring Leagues?

Lacrosse is the fastest-growing high school sport in the nation. In the last few years, varsity lacrosse teams have increased 200 percent nationwide. In the Midwest, this number is even more elevated. Many children are showing an increased interest in the sport of lacrosse and New Wave Lacrosse has a program for every skill level. Last year, over 300 kids from Kindergarten - 8th grade came out for New Wave’s Spring Leagues, the highest number yet! And the competition is only expected to grow.

This April, four towns go head-to-head in the greatest lacrosse battle the suburbs have ever seen! In other words, New Wave Lacrosse will be offering their popular Boys Lacrosse League again this Spring. This is an extremely popular program and past players are proving this to be a great feeder program for the area high school teams.

The coaches at New Wave and challenging atmosphere for athletes of all skill levels to develop and learn the sport. Players will be put on designated teams for the season. Teams will practice weekly at their local park district fields with games held on the weekends. At the end of the season, the teams from Naperville, Oswego, Plainfield, and Downers Grove will play in a round robin tournament to determine the league champion. All U9 - U15 teams will be entered into the May Classic Tournament, which will give the players some challenging competition at the club lacrosse level. Game jersey is included in program fee. Rental equipment is available through New Wave Lacrosse. Volunteer coaches are needed at all levels.

Good luck, Downers Grove!
