A message as we start our season! Ticks Tough
Ticks seeks to create not only a fun and competitive lacrosse environment across our towns, but instill a strong sense of community, sportsmanship, grit, and team first attitude in its players. Leading with the philosophy of “Ticks Tough”, we believe firmly that in being a great teammate, respecting coaches, officials, and opponents, and focusing on winning fundamentals we will create long lasting positive outcomes for our players on the field and off. While winning is a goal, our organization is far more interested in the process that goes into it. In registering your player for Ticks, they will not only enhance their passion and learning of lacrosse, but be challenged to be an excellent teammate, sportsman, and leader.
We encourage all our players, coaches, volunteers to abide by "Ticks Tough". Being Ticks Tough means:
1.) Respect – Player respects coaches, referees, opponents and teammates
2.) 3 E’s – Effort, Enthusiasm, Energy on the field and off
3.) Fun – Player is having fun and ensures their teammates are as well
4.) Player Foundations built around:
•Dominating Groundballs
•Creating and Seeking Turnovers
•Stellar Defense
•Pass then Shoot Mentality
•Sportsmanship
5.) Ours over Mine, We over Me Mentality
6.) Games make Good/Practice make Great

UNIFORM ORDERING AND FAN GEAR
Uniform Ordering and New Store!
Ticks parents, players and fans. We are excited to begin the season. Two important pieces in getting ready for the season.
1.) We will continue to use Squad Locker as our uniform provider. Please order your uniforms as soon as possible. The link on the site for "Team Store" will be active up until March 22nd.
2.) We are partnering with a new provider of fan and player gear (excepting uniforms). Signature Lacrosse is the premier provider in club lacrosse. We are excited by their new logos, gear, and also the ability of players to order gear through the site. A portion of all proceeds goes to Ticks. We will be doing several custom stores - Carhart, Nike, Under Armour - as well. Please take a look and order your gear today!
