MidMaine Lacrosse is a small organization in contrast to Kennebec Cannons, Central Maine Youth Lacrosse and even Eastern Maine Youth Lacrosse. Both our boys program and our girls program are smaller than many area programs.
There are not many small programs like ours close to home yet. Smaller programs are currently and generally located two hours away. This is a long commute for one or two games after a day in school or even on a Saturday. Lacrosse is growing and soon other small communities like ours will have recreational teams. MML is just a bit ahead of the curve.
And our small program, although not perfect, is well organized, affords year-round opportunity and plans great field trips.
MML players are supported by a fabulous home team parent group.
But we often need to measure our success not by the scoreboard. When MML players get to high school and join the MCI/Nokomis Cooperative Team school size is better accounted for by the Maine Principals Association.
The MCI/Nokomis Cooperative won more games than it lost this year. The CoOp Team went undefeated in the Tegenhondi Tournament in May. High school recreational play went undefeated last weekend in Southern Maine at the Ted Hellier Tournament. The high school cooperative team's success is, in part, because of our solid recreational program. The MCI/Nokomis Cooperative coaches have complimented our current MML coaches, our MML program and you, our MML players, many times.
So, while, according to the scoreboard, we are not winning many contests, players are developing great work ethics, great team play and solid skill sets.
Our MML players were, in 2015, and will be in 2016, prepared for high school play.
So I ask,
"Did you have fun in the games 'lost' yesterday?"
"Did your play improve?"
If yes, you win every time.
We have 7 or 8 eighth-graders joining the MCI/Nokomis Cooperative team next spring. Great News for Local Lacrosse.
There are camps and clinics this summer and this fall. Stay Tuned.
