Ward Melville Kids have been playing Club Lacrosse for many years. Many current and past college players that came out of Ward Melville played for Club Teams as well as the Ward Melville Summer HS Team. They all played for Ward Melville during the High School Season.
The 3V Youth Lacrosse Board implemented a policy that excluded kids in the community and did not let them play for 3V PAL / Travel program if that child played for a Club Team.
Some of the best players to come out of 3V over the past four to six years played for a “Club Team” at some point during their developmental years.
