Overall Mission Statement:
The mission of Fishhawk Coyotes Youth Lacrosse is to promote and honor the sport of lacrosse among our community for the purpose of developing a love of the game through positive coaching, sportsmanship among players, parents, coaches and officials, teaching life lessons beyond the playing field, recognition of all players' effort and participation regardless of ability, talent or skill.  The FishHawk Coyotes Youth Lacrosse Board recognize a distinction between the three seasons that are offered to the community.

• Summer Program - focus is the development of skill in a less competitive setting which is suitable for the beginner as well as the advanced player to refine their skills in practices and scrimmages.

• Fall Program – focus is the development of skill in a more competitive setting which incorporates a 1:1 ratio of practices to games.  Players are placed on recreational rosters within their age group and compete against other teams within the Coyotes Fall Recreational Program. All players have equal playing time in these games.

• Spring Program – focus is the development of skill on a highly competitive Coyotes team which plays against other teams in the US Gulf Coast Lacrosse Chapter. (Tampa Bay area).  Players may not have equal playing time during this season.
