Description
The Morton Mustangs is a middle school boys team consisting of players who attend Morton Middle School. While not a sport sanctioned by the Kentucky High School Athletic Association, the team coordinates with the school administration and strives to represent the mission and educational philosophy of the institution. As a developmental team, the focus of the Fall season is to develop skills and introduce the sport to new players. In the Spring, players continue to develop their new-found talents while participating in competitive games against area opponents.
Requirements
To be a team player on the Morton Mustangs,
the following conditions must be met: Practices and Games During the Fall Season (September - October),
skills development clinics are held once weekly to instruct on stick
skills, throwing, catching, shooting, and other fundamentals of the
game. The only equipment required for the Fall Season is a lacrosse
stick. During the Spring Season (late February - May), full practices are held
twice a week to develop team dynamics, initiate physical contact, and
practice offensive and defensive plays. Full equipment including helmet,
shoulder pads, elbow/arm pads, gloves, cleats, mouthpiece, and an athletic
supporert is required. In cases of financial need, LYLA has a meager
supply of equipment available on a first-come, first-served basis. Practice
