New Wave Nation: Why Playing Club Lacrosse With Us Is the Right Move

“I just wanted to take a moment to say THANK YOU to you and your coaching staff! While this is only our first year with New Wave, I have to say that as many organizations or clubs we have crossed paths with throughout the years, not only with Lacrosse, but other sports as well, New Wave has got to be by far the best organization we’ve come across! Your communication with the players/parents, your passion for the game, your investment of time in our children and the determination you have to push them to succeed to the best of their ability is beyond what any parent would want for their kid(s) right even down the totally “sick” uniforms! LOL Man, you guys are “on top of it” and believe me, we are sure to “brag” about you guys to everyone we know. Even though we didn’t get to bring you home a trophy yesterday, my son had an awesome time at his first tournament with New Wave, as did my husband & I. We couldn’t be more proud or happy to be involved with such an awesome club!”

-Tanya W., New Wave Parent

We receive kind words like these on a regular basis from parents and players alike. We really don’t like to brag, but we think we know why. It’s because the players and parents in our organization are not just numbers to us. New Wave takes pride in treating all of our New Wave Family members as we would our own families because, in the end, they are just that: family.

Our mission is simple; It is our goal to develop student athletes of success and integrity. We strive to help our boys serve as positive members of their team and the Illinois Lacrosse Community. We aim to not only establish our name as a premier athletic organization, but also to instill a positive attitude in our athletes so they are willing to recognize the importance of mental/physical growth in the development of their lacrosse skills. At the end of the day, We help our athletes reach their full lacrosse potential and meet their own personal goals.

With a challenging, inspiring program and extensive lacrosse networks across the country, we aim to help our athletes reach their collegiate, personal and athletic goals. We specialize in everything from beginner lacrosse instruction for the athletes who are just getting into the game, all the way to the most elite travel clubs scouted by collegiate staff. Lacrosse is the fastest growing sport in the Midwest and New Wave has embraced the task of helping Illinois excel at it.

For those athletes who aspire to be part of a college lacrosse team, we take extra steps to ensure that they make it there. New Wave prides itself at getting our high school players into college. We average an 85% college-signing rate. To date, we have sent over 150 young men to college lacrosse programs all over the country, due to our knowledgeable staff and recruiting tournaments that we attend. We have a number of Collegiate Head Coaches on staff and have numerous connections to other coaches around the area. If you aspire to play at the next level, New Wave will do everything in our power to help you get there.

We know that the most important thing, at the end of the day, is to have a positive experience in the sport that you love. The number one reason that young athletes quit a sport is because they are not having any fun. New Wave makes sure all of our athletes have a positive, encouraging atmosphere that promotes confidence, motivation, and, most of all, fun!

There are many lacrosse organizations out there that you could choose to play for, but we guarantee that New Wave is the right choice for you.
