Welcome to the 2012 HV Spring Lacrosse Season - Register Now!
Hopewell Valley Lacrosse (HVL) is a not-for-profit organization open to all Hopewell Valley (Pennington and Hopewell boroughs, and Hopewell Township) girls and boys in grades 3 through 8.
HVL is a hybrid of both a recreational and travel program. As the players get older, they can expect to play more games throughout the season.
All participating players are assured of learning the fundamentals of the game of lacrosse and minimum playing time in all games. Everyone who signs up plays.
The HVL program is based on three core principles:
-
Fun through exercise
-
Development of lacrosse skills to prepare for participation in high school competition
-
Positive individual growth through the experience of teamwork, sportsmanship, competition, and commitment.
HVL is a member of US Lacrosse (South Jersey Chapter). The boys program is a member of and competes in the Central New Jersey Youth Lacrosse League while the girls program participates in the New Jersey Junior Girls Lacrosse League (NJJGLL). HVL traditionally schedules opponents from town programs located within one hour of Pennington.
HVL organizes a spring season for boys and girls, and can connect interested players with local club teams who offer other playing opportiunities when the HVL is not offering an active session.
Spring: The popular spring season runs from early March to early June, usually with one or two practices during the week, and games on the weekends. For the girls, travel is required for away games and tournaments, usually less than a hour drive from Pennington. For the boys, we offer a local Intramural (no travel) program, and a more challenging Travel program - new in 2011 - for qualified players.
In 2012, most, if not all, of the practices and home games will be held at the new turf field at Twin Pines near Stony Brook. Our boys and girls tournaments will be held at AFT.
