Millburn/Short Hills Girls' Lacrosse: Check It Out!!!
Welcome to the website for the Millburn / Short Hills Girls' Lacrosse Club (MSHGLAX) for grades 1-8. The Club is a non-profit organization run by volunteers and paid coaches for youth lacrosse players in Millburn/Short Hills, New Jersey. The Club's mission is to provide an opportunity for girls to learn how to play lacrosse and to participate on a team fostering good sportsmanship and teamwork. Our Club members have fun!
The Club is a member of New Jersey Junior Girls' Lacrosse League and U.S. Lacrosse, the national governing body of men's and women's lacrosse. Club members can participate in a variety of New Jersey league events as well as special events and clinics sponsored by US Lacrosse. MSHGLAX Coaches are trained in the Double Goal I and II and Leadership workshops provided by the Positive Coaching Alliance. Coaches have attended educational clinics at the US Convention or NJJGLL sponsored clinics.
MSGHLAX follows the ROOTS of positive play. Rules - We follow them. Opponents - a worthy opponent is a gift that forces us to play to our highest potential. Officials - We treat officials with respect. Teammates - We never do anything that would embarass our team on or off the field. Self - We live up to our own standards regardless of what others do. Our Club goals are: to have players love the sport from beginning to the end of the season; every player's skills will improve; every player will get a chance in practice and games to test and challenge themselves; and parent and players will enjoy the season and hopefully want to return next season!
The first and second grade level is instructional only. Fun centers and drills are incorporated into the practices but there is no competitive game schedule at this level.
The third and fourth grade teams practice twice a week and play a limited game schedule against other towns' teams.
The fifth and sixth grade teams practice three times a week and play a full 10 game schedule against surrounding towns.
The seventh and eigth grade teams practice three times a week and play a full 12 game schedule against surrounding towns' teams.
Go Millburn!!!
Thank you for visiting our website. Please join us for clinics and team play and learn to play the fast-moving, exciting and fun game of lacrosse.
