About Gators

The 2008 Gator team entered its second season with loads of enthusiasm and excitement. After a successful summer season in 2007 everyone looks forward to a summer full of developmental lacrosse as well as a fun and learning experience. The Gators are made up of Rising Juniors and Sophomores playing and competing at the Varsity level. The team has trained hard and worked hard and is on the path to becoming another outstanding Progression entry.

The coaching Staff is comprised of Paul Purdy, Head Varsity Coach at Danbury High and Brian Micena , Head Coach Newtown CT. High School Varsity .

Goals
The Hurricanes have one goal: to develop top flight lacrosse players to their maximum potential.

We believe that this goal is best reached with the skill building inherent in being on a team where every player is skilled so that the most is expected of each player by his teammates. Secondly, we believe that college play is different from high school level lacrosse and the best way to learn college level skills is from college coaches. Finally, we believe that being on a top team with outstanding teammates and great college coaches and mentors are by themselves not enough - that to develop fully players need the intense competition achieved by competition at the highest tournament levels.

Plans
We plan to build a club based on super elite players under the tutelage of one of the game's great coaches, Mike Waldvogel assisted by Jay Ouellet. We plan to offer the best coaching to the best athletes and then train them to play outstanding lacrosse under the intense competition of the region's top tournaments.
