What is the objective of Cavalry LC?

Our objective is simple - to make our players the best they can be both on and off the field. The combination of traditional club practices with our academy training system maximizes player development while our focus on service shapes our players off the field as well.

Why would a player choose Cavalry LC and what sets Cavalry LC apart from other clubs?

Cavalry Lacrosse Club is an elite level travel club that incorporates an academy-focused training program to help our players improve year-round. Players have access to our outstanding coaching staff based on our class schedules, not just during the summer. Our academy model allows maximum flexibility with regards to time and costs for both multi-sport and out of season players. We also provide more than your traditional club team through our club’s service mission and advisement options that go beyond the field.

what are your fees & how are they structured?

Our schedule and fee structure provide our players with a flexible, year-round player development model to provide multi-sport athletes with the opportunity to maximize attendance. There will be a separate fee for each “semester”, i.e. fall, winter and summer. Rostered and paid members of a Cavalry summer team will have first access to attend fall and winter academy classes at a discounted rate. Members can purchase the entire fall or winter semester, or they can pay the drop-in price per class based on openings and available spots. Non-members may also attend academy classes based on available spots and will be on an invite-only basis.

WHERE DO YOU PRACTICE?

Our Academy training will be held at various indoor facilities in the area, including InSports (Trumbull) and the Danbury Dome. Our outdoor practices will be held at Fairfield University and ridgefield hs.

How can you help players navigate the college recruiting process?

Our club will offer a variety of services beyond the on the field coaching. cavalry leadership has decades of experience in college coaching and recruiting. Our staff has played and coached, at the highest levels. Their first-hand experience recruiting players to their respective college programs, coupled with our personal relationships with a vast network of college coaches, enables us to direct our players to the right tournaments, showcases and prospect days.

Who are the coaches?

Our coaches have a proven track record of teaching the game and helping their players improve both on and off the field. Cavalry LC was created to allow our coaches to deliver their knowledge and instruction not only during the “club season” but throughout the year using our academy model. For more information about each of our coaches, please visit the “Coaches” tab on the top of our website.

What level of player commitment is required by Cavalry LC?

Cavalry LC has athletes from various schools in Fairfield County and surrounding areas. Our players enjoy the camaraderie of playing together on their team, as well as the competition of playing hard against each other during practice. Our academy classes are highly focused on individual and positional skills, while team concepts are covered at team practices. Both are key ingredients to developing elite lacrosse players. Attending your academy training classes and team practices is a must for your son's personal development and the success of the team. Cavalry LC absolutely supports multi-sport athletes and believes the "in season" sport comes first. However, our players are highly recommended to make time to attend our "out of season" workouts when they do not have a direct conflict with their in-season sport. Playing for Cavalry LC is not come and go as you please. However, being on a team where everyone always shows up and always works hard is an incredible feeling and worth the sacrifice!

What age groups do you have teams for?

We are fielding youth teams for 2032, 2031, 2030, middle school teams for 2029, 2028, 2027, and high school teams for 2025 and 2026.

How many players are on each team?

We only field ONE AA team per grade level. Our focus is making our players better so there is more availability in our academy sessions and additional training.
