FAQ

BROTHERLY LOVE shares a vision that is in keeping with the rapidly changing landscape of lacrosse in the United States. Our mission represents a strategic initiative with Philadelphia and Delaware based teams to offer a competitive alternative for families desiring to supplement the community lacrosse experience. Our mission is to facilitate community-based talent and provide them with elite coaching so they can compete with any club in the country.

Brotherly love has accumulated many players in an equally as large geographic area. For this reason, we felt it would be best for all players and parents to separate into two regions. This also creates two pathways for players that are looking for elite level coaching and player development.

The noticeable difference is Brotherly Love will separate into two distinct geographic locations, North & South. Both clubs emphasize the highest level of training, feature top-tier coaches, and focus on guiding players towards college opportunities.

The teams will train and play at a location that best mirrors the location of the players / coaching staff and in facilities that are amenable to evening practice schedules. Brotherly Love Lacrosse Club North will practice at Stetson Elementary School in West Chester PA and Cabrini University in Radnor, PA. Brotherly Love Lacrosse Club South will practice at The Chase Fieldhouse in Wilmington DE and Kirkwood Sports Complex in New Castle DE.

We will offer all levels, from elite teams including AA, A, and B teams. It is open to anyone interested.

Brotherly Love Lacrosse Club North and South will offer Elementary, Middle, and High School aged teams.

Both Brotherly Love Lacrosse Club North and Brotherly Love Lacrosse Club South boast exceptional coaching staff dedicated to player development. Coaches are carefully selected based on their expertise and commitment to fostering talent. See Coaching Page

The more tryouts you attend gives the Brotherly Love Staff an opportunity to evaluate players on multiple occasions, in different settings, to provide a well-rounded understanding of abilities. If a player is only able to make one tryout, it is important to let the coaching staff know so they can prepare accordingly.
