FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS...
I am playing other sports this Spring and will have to miss some practices and some games. Will that be a problem?
Not at all. We are happy to see you at as many practices and games that you can make. We understand that you may miss LAX due to important commitments to other sports, to other activities and for family reasons. This will not impact your playing time on our teams. LAX is for having fun! We are grateful for every opportunity to expose you to a great game.
Can I play in the other Squad’s game if I miss my Squad’s game due to a conflict? Or what if I just love LAX and want to play as much as I can?
Yes, you can. If you contact the coaches in advance so that we have time to work you into the lines, you can switch Squads for individual games. Just make sure you get to us a few days in advance of the game. If you just show up to the game, we may not be able to work you in immediately.
Will Players get an equal amount of game time?
The philosophy of this organization is to allow each player equal playing time. While in a given game there may be a small imbalance in playing time with this system, our experience is that, over the course of a season, it will balance out. Middies, for example, will be on and off the field all game long. Attack, defense and goalies are usually on the field continuously for an entire half unless we have to work some others into the game. Therefore, depending on his position in the game, your player may be on and off for different amounts of time. Note: If a player is not on time to the game, he may not get into the game in the first half because it will take time to work him in on a shift.
