WHITE AND BLUE SQUADS
Our U12 and U14 age groups each operate as one team with White and Blue squads. This allows coaches to place players in the environment that best supports their current development.
White squads generally include players with more established skills and match experience. Blue squads support players who are still developing confidence or consistency in some areas of the game.
All players should be ready and available for fixtures. Squad placement is flexible and reviewed throughout the season. Players may move in either direction to ensure they are training and competing at the most appropriate level..

Matches, Fixtures and Commitment

There may also be opportunities for our U12, U14 and U16 teams to attend tournaments and fixtures further afield, including Stockport and other locations in the North of the UK. These opportunities may require additional travel and will be communicated as details are confirmed.
FIXTURE COMMUNICATION
We will share known fixture dates as early as possible to help families plan ahead.
Full information, including timings, locations, availability requests and travel arrangements, will be shared through team WhatsApp groups and Spond while we gradually migrate across to the new platform.
Families should respond to fixture invitations promptly and contact their team leader or coach as early as possible if their availability changes.
PLAYER COMMITMENT
At Bromley Lacrosse Club, we aim to attend as many suitable matches and tournaments as possible throughout the season.
We encourage every player to show a strong commitment to both training and fixtures. Regular attendance helps individual development, allows coaches to plan effectively and supports team confidence and cohesion.
MATCH AVAILABILITY
At the beginning of the season, families will be asked whether their child intends to be:
COMPETITIVE
Competitive players are expected to be available for published match dates wherever possible. If they cannot attend, families should inform their team leader or coach as early as possible.
TRAINING ONLY
Training-only players primarily attend weekly training. They are still welcome to take part in matches when they feel ready and may be invited to suitable fixtures on a match-by-match basis.
Asking families to indicate their intentions helps coaches plan balanced squads, provide fair playing opportunities and build strong, reliable teams.
PLAYING FOR MORE THAN ONE TEAM
Eligible players may train and play with more than one team. Players choosing to participate with two teams should commit to the training and fixtures of both wherever possible.
All full members pay the same season fee, regardless of whether they participate with one or two teams. Bobcat Cubs have a different fee because their weekly sessions are 45 minutes.
There is no additional yearly membership fee.
