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.
