Being a regular game day Long Island Lizard ballboy is hard work but one with a lot of benefits. Boys that eventually get chosen get to spend serious time with the Lizards players, coaches and staff.

You must be able to make Lizard home practices on Thursday nights as well as most, if not all, of their home games at James M. Shuart Stadium at Hofstra University (4/28, 6/1, 6/23, 7/7, 7/14,7/21 and 7/28).
