North Rockland Boys Youth Lacrosse is a local organization based in the North Rockland area providing boys grades Kindergarten through 8th grade an opportunity to play organized lacrosse. Players are taught the basic skills of lacrosse at a young age by highly qualified and motivated volunteer coaches. The organization is lead by former NR player and active coach Kenny Rose. At the K-1st group the players are taught the basics and play a limited amount of games against some neighboring organizations. As players progress to the 2nd-4th grade teams, players begin to not only continue to work on the basics of lacrosse but now team play is worked on more. Players on the 5th-6th grade teams begin to work on more advanced skills and game play. Some more of the physical aspects are introduced and utilized along with players moving towards specialties such as shooting, defensive play with long poles and goaltending. Players on the 7th-8th grade teams continue to hone in on their skills and prepare for more advanced play at the modified and high school levels. All players play organized games against neighboring teams along with some tournaments including hosting the Annual Red Raider Invitational in June at the NR LAX fields. Players are members of US Lacrosse and are expected to abide by the rules and regulations required by the US Lacrosse organization and its sportsmanship rules towards the game of lacrosse.
