Lacrosse of Minnesota

For parents, understanding the game of lacrosse can be challenging. However, we encourage parents to learn as much as they can - both on and off the field. In this section of our website, we've included information on the following areas: basic rules of the game, positions, skills, what parents can do to help their child improve and recommendations on equipment. Our goal is to help guide you in your journey as a lacrosse parent.

At Homegrown Lacrosse, we recognize and applaud all that parents do to help their athletes succeed — everything from equipment manager to trainer, chauffeur, nutritionist and cheerleader. There isn’t a playbook for what you do nor is there a forum for finding answers and sharing perspective. That’s why we’ve created our bi-weekly “Parent Corner” column. Here you’ll find advice, answers and perspectives that help you and your athlete succeed.
